## Ofsted category of concern

At its inspection on 24 March 2026 (Ofsted report card (current framework)) this school was placed in the category "special measures". Ofsted judged the school to be failing to give its pupils an acceptable standard of education, and not to have the capacity to make the necessary improvements without help. Schools do leave these categories, so this is not a statement of where the school stands today. Check that with Ofsted.

## Catchment area

Norfolk publishes an admission area for this school.

Living inside a published area is not an offer of a place. Councils use these areas in different ways: some to decide who gets a place when a school is full, some only to decide who gets free school transport. The shape is drawn to about 20 metres, so it cannot answer a question about a single house.

"Retrieved" is the day we downloaded the data, not the day it was written, so a figure can be about an earlier year.
