About Sutton Church of England Infant Acdemy

Sutton Church of England Infant Academy, a small state primary in North Norfolk, was rated Good in its most recent graded Ofsted inspection in 2015, and a subsequent ungraded inspection in 2019 confirmed the school remains Good. This represents a clear improvement from its previous graded inspection in 2013, when it was judged to require improvement overall. The school’s leadership and management, as well as its early years provision, were both rated Good in the 2015 inspection. With just 31 pupils on roll against a capacity of 75, the school is significantly undersubscribed, yet it received 10 applications for only 2 available places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 5 to 1. This suggests strong local demand for a very small, Church of England-infant-only setting, where children stay from age 3 to 7 before moving on to a junior school.
