About Neatishead Church of England Primary School

Neatishead Church of England Primary School is a small state primary in the Norfolk local authority, and it sits among the top-performing schools in the area. In the North Norfolk district, it ranks 5th out of 30 primary schools, placing it in the top 25% nationally for its Key Stage 2 outcomes. Its closest competitors at the top of the local leaderboard include Ditchingham Church of England Primary Academy and Surlingham Primary School, both of which achieved the highest possible ranking score, followed by Stalham Academy. With just 65 pupils on roll against a capacity of 90, the school is comfortably undersubscribed in terms of total places, yet it was oversubscribed for 2025/26 admissions, receiving 20 applications for 12 places and making offers to all 12 first-preference families. This suggests a strong local reputation despite its rural setting in North Norfolk.
