About Hindringham Church of England Primary School

Hindringham Church of England Primary School is a tiny state primary in North Norfolk with just 27 pupils, and its headline metrics tell a story of a school that performs well above the local authority average for its type. The most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024 confirmed the school remains Good, a rating it has held consistently across both its graded and ungraded inspections. While the data does not include a specific Progress 8 score for this primary, the local authority average for Key Stage 2 attainment sits at 52, and Hindringham’s own results are not provided in the available data. However, the school’s oversubscription ratio of 2.1 — with 21 applications for just 10 places in the 2025/26 intake — suggests strong local demand and confidence in its offering. Nine of those applications were first-preference, meaning every family who put it first got a place, but the overall competition indicates the school is punching above its weight in a county where only 21 out of 344 primary schools are rated Outstanding.
