Hilgay Riverside Academy

Ofsted-rated Good.

• Details Mixed +

  Phase	Primary
  Type	Academy converter
  Age range	4–11
  Gender	Mixed
  Sixth form	Does not have a sixth form
  Religious character	Church of England
  Admissions policy	Not applicable
  Trust	GRACE SCHOOLS

  Head teacher	Mrs Sarah Turner
  Address	Church Road, Hilgay, Downham Market, Norfolk
  Phone	01366387685

  Area deprivation	Quintile 1 of 5 (1 = most deprived fifth nationally)
  Estimated admission distance	1.88 mi Estimated
  URN	142526
  Distance	2.2 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.
