About Anthony Curton CofE Primary School

Anthony Curton CofE Primary School is a state primary in King's Lynn and West Norfolk, currently operating below its physical capacity of 210 pupils with 190 on roll. That spare capacity is interesting given the clear demand for places: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 46 applications for 26 places, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 1. 77 applicants per spot. All 25 first-preference applicants were offered a place, which suggests the school is a popular first choice among local families. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 14. 7%, which is above the national average for primary schools (around 12-13%) but not dramatically so, indicating a broadly mixed catchment. As a Church of England school, it has a religious character, though the data doesn't specify whether this influences admissions criteria. Headteacher Dawn Liddle leads a mixed-gender school for children aged 4 to 11, with no nursery or sixth form provision.
