Loddon Junior School
About Loddon Junior School
Just over half of parents who responded to the most recent Parent View survey would recommend Loddon Junior School to other families, which is a useful starting point for anyone weighing up their options. The school is a state primary for children aged 7 to 11 in South Norfolk, with a capacity of 240 pupils. It is not currently oversubscribed, meaning there is generally space for families who apply, which can be a relief in a local authority where competition for places at the most popular schools can be stiff. The headteacher is Sara El Oakley, and the school has no religious character. On the facilities front, Loddon offers a solid range including a sports hall, playing fields, a gymnasium, a sensory room, a library, a forest school area, an ICT suite, and music rooms. There is also a decent selection of clubs such as chess, coding, book club, gardening, choir, and eco club, plus sports like rounders, cricket, athletics, netball, tennis, and gymnastics.
