About Brundall Primary School

Brundall Primary School sends a clear signal to parents: it is a popular choice. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 67 applications for 41 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.63, meaning nearly two families applied for every spot. Of those, 38 families put Brundall as their first preference, and all 38 were offered a place. That level of demand suggests a school that local parents trust and actively want. The school is led by headteacher Sarah Shirras and serves 280 pupils in the Broadland area of Norfolk, with a capacity of 300. Around 15% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is in line with the national average for primary schools. While the school does not have a published parent-view recommendation percentage, the oversubscription figures alone indicate a strong local reputation.
