About Earsham Church of England Primary Academy

Earsham Church of England Primary Academy is a small state primary school in the South Norfolk district of the Norfolk local authority, one of 344 primary schools in the county. Among its local peers, it sits behind Ditchingham Church of England Primary Academy and Surlingham Primary School, both of which share the top ranking score of 100, and Stalham Academy at 89. With just 79 pupils on roll against a capacity of 105, the school is significantly undersubscribed in terms of total places, yet it was oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake, receiving 13 applications for 4 places — an oversubscription ratio of 3.25. All four first-preference applicants were offered a place. The school is led by headteacher Heather Brand and has a Church of England religious character, though it is a state-funded academy rather than a voluntary-aided school. Its small size means families can expect a close-knit setting, and the school offers a chapel on site alongside a gymnasium, art studios, and an outdoor playground.
