About Norwich Primary Academy

Every single parent who responded to the Ofsted Parent View survey for Norwich Primary Academy said they would recommend the school to other parents, which is a remarkably strong signal. The survey, which ran from September 2024 to September 2025, also shows that 97% of the 28 respondents either agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and 93% felt their child is safe. Parents were particularly positive about communication: 100% agreed the school makes them aware of what their child will learn, and 90% agreed they are kept informed about how their child is doing. The school is clearly popular locally, too. For the 2025/26 academic year, Norwich Primary Academy was oversubscribed, receiving 36 applications for just 14 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.57. All 14 first-preference applicants were offered a place, but with more than double the number of families applying, securing a spot is competitive.
