About Lyng Church of England Primary Academy

Lyng Church of England Primary Academy is a small state primary in the Norfolk village of Lyng, sitting within the Breckland district. Among the 43 primary schools in Breckland, it ranks 3rd based on the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2, placing it comfortably in the top 25% nationally. Its closest peers in the local authority are Ditchingham Church of England Primary Academy and Surlingham Primary School, both of which achieved a perfect ranking score, with Stalham Academy close behind on 89. With just 94 pupils on roll against a capacity of 120, the school is genuinely small, and its Church of England character gives it a distinct identity within the local landscape. Oversubscription for 2025/26 entry — 18 applications for 12 places, all 12 first-preference offers taken up — suggests strong local demand, and the school’s Good Ofsted rating from its most recent graded inspection in 2013 has been sustained through an ungraded visit in 2017.
