Blofield Primary School

About Blofield Primary School

Blofield Primary School is a state primary in the Broadland area of Norfolk, and it’s a school that families clearly want to get into. With 220 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210, the school is technically oversubscribed, and the numbers back that up: for 29 places in the 2025/26 intake, there were 105 total applications, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.62. Of those, 40 put Blofield as their first preference, and all 29 first-preference offers were taken up. The school’s intake is notably less disadvantaged than the national average — just 6.4% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, compared with a typical primary figure of around 23% nationally. That’s a fairly selective demographic picture, and it’s worth noting that the school has no nursery provision, so children join in Reception. Headteacher Victoria Buxton leads a mixed, non-religious school that draws from a largely rural catchment, and the demand suggests it’s seen as a strong local option.
