About Spixworth Infant School

Spixworth Infant School, a state primary for children aged 5 to 7 in Norfolk, sits in a local authority where the average Key Stage 2 score for primary schools is 52. However, because Spixworth only covers the infant years (Reception through Year 2), it does not participate in the Key Stage 2 SATs taken by older primary pupils, so a direct comparison against that LA average isn't possible. What stands out instead is the school's consistent Ofsted record. In its most recent graded inspection in 2014, it was rated Good overall, with Good marks for leadership, management, and early years provision. A subsequent ungraded inspection in 2023 confirmed the school 'remains Good'. This stability is notable in a county where only 21 of 344 primary schools hold an Outstanding rating, and the nearest Outstanding option, White Woman Lane Junior School, is 2.8 km away. For a small infant school with 121 pupils, maintaining a Good rating across nearly a decade suggests reliable, steady leadership under headteacher Heidi Jordan.
