Watton Westfield Infant and Nursery School

Ofsted-rated Good.

• Details Mixed +

  Area deprivation	Quintile 3 of 5 (1 = most deprived fifth nationally)
  Estimated admission distance	0.42 mi Estimated
  URN	143956
  Distance	1.5 mi

  Norfolk hasn't published a real admission-distance figure, so this is a modelled estimate instead, built from local Census population density for this school's age group versus its intake size, the same class of technique other school-search sites use as their default catchment indicator when no official figure exists. Not based on real pupil addresses (nobody outside the school/council has access to that), and meaningfully less reliable than a published figure.
