About Diss Infant Academy and Nursery

Diss Infant Academy and Nursery received a Requires Improvement rating in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a drop from the Good rating it held in its previous inspection a decade earlier. The inspection report highlighted that the quality of education, early years provision, and leadership and management all require improvement, while personal development and behaviour and attitudes were both rated Good. The school serves 118 pupils aged 3 to 7, well below its capacity of 210, and 11.9% of pupils are eligible for free school meals. For a school this young, there are no published KS2 SATs results to examine, as children leave before reaching that stage. However, the local authority average for KS2 attainment across Norfolk primary schools sits at 52, a useful benchmark for parents considering where their child might continue after Year 2.
