About Stalham Infant School and Nursery

Stalham Infant School and Nursery sits in a local authority where the average Key Stage 2 score for primary schools is 52, but because this school only takes children up to age 7, it doesn't publish KS2 results at all. That makes direct headline comparisons tricky, but what stands out is how the school performs on the metrics it does have. Its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 rated it Good overall, with leadership and management also judged Good. That's a clear improvement from its previous graded inspection in 2011, when the school was rated Requires Improvement across the board. The ungraded inspection in 2023 confirmed the school remains Good, suggesting stable leadership under headteacher Glenn Russell. With just 89 pupils against a capacity of 90, the school is running almost full, and it was oversubscribed for 2025/26 entry, receiving 33 applications for 24 places. That 1.38 oversubscription ratio hints at strong local demand, particularly from families who want a small, infant-only setting with nursery provision from age two.
