About Angel Road Infant School

Angel Road Infant School is a state primary in Norwich that currently serves 159 children aged 2 to 7, well below its capacity of 270. That spare space might seem surprising given the level of local demand: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 72 applications for 30 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.4, and made 26 first-preference offers. The pupil population is notably diverse in terms of disadvantage, with 25.2% of children eligible for free school meals — significantly above the national average for primary schools, which typically sits around 23-24%. This suggests the school draws from a catchment with above-average levels of economic need. The school has nursery provision, so children can join from age 2, and it is mixed gender with no religious character. Headteacher Edward Savage leads a school that, based on its intake data, serves a community that values what it offers, even if the school isn't running at full capacity.
