About Stoke Holy Cross Primary School

Stoke Holy Cross Primary School sits within the Norfolk local authority, a mixed state primary for children aged 5 to 11. In the South Norfolk area, it ranks 40th out of 54 primary schools, placing it in the bottom half locally. Its closest top-performing peers in the same authority include Ditchingham Church of England Primary Academy and Surlingham Primary School, both of which achieved perfect ranking scores, alongside Stalham Academy. The school is led by headteacher Jeannette Chaney and has a capacity of 210 pupils, with 188 currently on roll. It is not affiliated with any religious character and does not offer nursery provision or a sixth form. Despite its modest ranking, the school has a strong recent Ofsted record, having been rated Good overall in its most recent graded inspection in 2019, and an ungraded inspection in 2024 confirmed it remains Good.
