About Bungay Primary School

Bungay Primary School is a mixed state primary for ages 3 to 11, currently operating below its capacity of 270 with 214 pupils on roll. The school serves a community with a notably high proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals — 39.3 per cent, well above the national average for primary schools. Demand for places is clear: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 40 applications for 35 places, with 34 of those coming as first preferences, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.14. This suggests the school is a popular choice locally despite its relatively small size. The school also offers nursery provision, which may help families looking for continuity from early years through to Year 6. The headteacher is Katherine Milk, and the school has no religious character.
