Schools in Bungay
Bungay is a market town in south Norfolk with 8 schools — 5 primaries and Bungay High School serving secondary-age pupils. Four schools have received Good or Outstanding Ofsted ratings, making this a competitive catchment area where demand often exceeds supply at the most popular primaries.
Two schools are currently oversubscribed, and the area includes 3 faith schools (primarily Church of England), each of which uses religious criteria alongside distance for place allocation. The average fill rate across Bungay schools is 82%, though this masks variation: the town's most sought-after primaries have filled to capacity in recent years.
