These describe the surroundings, never the site.

Harm and risk outside the home (ROTH) across Norfolk

Harm and risk outside the home (ROTH): share of assessments, Norfolk against England, the widest gap above England first

Norfolk England

  • Child criminal exploitation 4.5% against 3.2%
  • Child sexual exploitation 3.7% against 2.4%
  • Physical abuse by another child 3.9% against 3%
  • Gangs 2.1% against 1.7%
  • Going missing 3.5% against 3.3%
  • Trafficking 0.6% against 0.4%
  • Sexual abuse by another child 2.1% against 2.5%

This describes what social workers record for the whole authority, never this school or its pupils, and a higher share can reflect better identification as easily as more harm.

About this school's place in the register

St Clement's High School is listed in the Department for Education's register of schools, Get Information About Schools, under unique reference number 140557. Its type in the register is "Academy sponsor led", in the group the Department calls "Academies". It is part of WEST NORFOLK ACADEMIES TRUST, a trust whose schools share governance and, usually, safeguarding policy. Its UK provider reference number is 10044574. The register was last checked on 7 November 2026, and this entry last changed on 25 September 2026.

Its phase of education is secondary. The statutory age range is 11 to 16, which is the span of ages the school is registered to admit; the routes children take to the gate, and how independently they travel, follow from it. The intake is recorded as mixed. At the last school census 704 pupils were on roll, and 28 percent of them were eligible for free school meals, a register figure the report never uses to describe pupils. The register holds a website address for the school, linked below.

The school is in England, at postcode PE34 4LZ. Its grid reference is easting 555165, northing 320738, which is latitude 52.7620 and longitude 0.2981. That point is the centre of everything the safeguarding context report measures: the streets within a short walk, the parks, stops and stations nearby, the roads at the gate, and the neighbourhood statistics that surround it.

St Clement's High School sits in the Norfolk local authority area, which has 460 open establishments in the register. The local authority is one of the three statutory safeguarding partners, with the integrated care board and the police, who together publish the local safeguarding arrangements and the threshold document a school's child protection policy refers to; the authority also sets out its early help offer, so the same authority context applies to every school in Norfolk.

The nearest schools in the register to St Clement's High School are Terrington St Clement Community School (about 180 metres away), Westfield House School (2.2 km away), Walpole Cross Keys Primary School (3.1 km away), Tilney All Saints CofE Primary School (3.6 km away) and Clenchwarton Primary School (4.0 km away). Distances are straight lines between grid references, not walking routes. Schools close together share many of the same streets, stops and parks, but each page and report is measured from that school's own site.
