82% agreeOfsted last inspected The Harleston Sancroft Academy (a 3-16 Church of England School) on 24 June 2025 and did not give an overall grade, as single-word grades ended in September 2024.
No. Distance only counts when The Harleston Sancroft Academy (a 3-16 Church of England School) has more applicants than places. Then its admission criteria, set by its academy trust, decide who is offered a place first. Children in care or adopted from care come first by law. Most schools put brothers and sisters of current pupils next, then distance or a catchment area. As a Church of England school, it can give priority to children on grounds of faith. How far away the last place went changes every year, depending on who applies.
The Harleston Sancroft Academy (a 3-16 Church of England School) had 837 pupils aged 3 to 16 at the latest school census. Its official capacity is 973. It is a mixed school with no sixth form, so students move on at 16.
