Mattishall is a large and lively village, about five miles east of Dereham and eleven miles west of Norwich. Mattishall Primary School was established in September 2000, as a result of the amalgamation of the former Mattishall First and Mattishall Middle Schools under Local Authority re-organisation of schools in the Dereham area.
From September 2000 to July 2005, the school operated on a split-site in the buildings of the former First and Middle Schools. Funding was made available to bring the school onto one site and a building programme began in November 2004. Since September 2005 the whole school has been together in the redeveloped building on the former Junior site.
Mattishall Primary School became part of the Synergy Multi Academy Trust in April 2017.
