About Mousehold Infant & Nursery School

Parents are clearly happy with Mousehold Infant & Nursery School. In the most recent Parent View survey, 94% of respondents said they would recommend the school to other parents, with only 6% saying they would not. That level of endorsement is backed up by the detail: 94% of parents either agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and 97% felt their child is safe. The school is also in high demand. For the 2025/26 intake, it received 130 applications for just 57 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.28. Of those, 56 were first-preference applications, and 53 first-preference offers were made. That means most families who put Mousehold first got a place, but competition is real. The school serves children aged 3 to 7, with a nursery on site, and has a capacity of 322 pupils, though it currently has 231 on roll. That leaves some headroom, but the oversubscription figures suggest it is a popular choice among Norwich families.
