Queensway Infant Academy
About Queensway Infant Academy
Queensway Infant Academy is a state primary in Breckland, Norfolk, and its headline metrics tell a story that parents will want to weigh carefully. The school serves children aged 4 to 7, with just 111 pupils against a capacity of 177, and a very high proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals at 49 per cent. When it comes to academic outcomes, the local authority average for Key Stage 2 is 52, but Queensway is an infant school that doesn't publish KS2 results — its pupils move on before that stage. That makes direct comparison tricky, but the school's most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022 rated it Requires Improvement overall, with leadership and management, quality of education, and early years provision all marked at the same level. Behaviour and attitudes, and personal development, were both rated Good, which suggests the school has strengths in creating a positive environment even while academic delivery needs work.
