About All Saints Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School, Winfarthing
All Saints Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School in Winfarthing is a very small village primary, with just 22 pupils on roll against a capacity of 70. That means it is operating at less than a third of its potential size, which is unusual for a state primary. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 36.4%, well above the national average of around 23% and significantly higher than the Norfolk local authority average. Despite the small roll, demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 7 applications for just 4 places, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 1.75 applicants per place. All four first-preference families were offered a spot, which suggests the school is a popular choice among local parents who live close enough to secure a place. The school is mixed, Church of England, and serves the 4-11 age range in the South Norfolk area.
