About North Elmham Church of England Primary Academy & Nursery
North Elmham Church of England Primary Academy & Nursery is a small state primary in the Norfolk local authority, situated in the Breckland borough. With just 54 pupils on roll, it is one of 344 primary schools in the county, and its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 placed it in the Requires Improvement category. That puts it some distance behind the top-performing peers in the area, such as Ditchingham Church of England Primary Academy and Surlingham Primary School, both of which achieved the highest possible ranking score in local comparisons, and Stalham Academy, which scored 89. The school’s leadership and management were rated Good in that inspection, but every other area — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision — was judged to be Requires Improvement. The school does have a nursery provision, taking children from age two, and it operates as a Church of England academy, though the data does not provide any further detail on its religious character in practice.
