About Stalham Academy

Stalham Academy is a primary school in North Norfolk that parents seem to view positively, though the most direct signal of satisfaction comes from its oversubscription data. With 227 pupils against a capacity of 341, the school is operating at roughly two-thirds of its total places, which suggests it is not currently oversubscribed. However, the school’s strong academic reputation may be a more reliable indicator of parental confidence. In the most recent Ofsted inspection, conducted in 2022, the school was rated Good overall, with leadership and management also judged Good. This marks a significant turnaround from its previous inspection in 2013, when it was rated Inadequate. The ungraded inspection in 2022 confirmed that the school remains Good, giving parents a clear, recent benchmark for quality.
