Schools in Diss
In the valley of the River Waveney on the Norfolk-Suffolk border, Diss is a market town of around 8,500 people centred on Diss Mere, a six-acre freshwater lake that gives the town its distinctive character and has shaped its layout for centuries.
Diss and Wortham are among the most sought-after pockets in South Norfolk for school catchments, with families from the wider Waveney valley competing for primary places across both settlements. Dickleburgh and Bressingham make up part of the rural fringe that feeds into the town's school roll. Greater Anglia services reach Norwich in under half an hour.
