About Cringleford Prep

Cringleford Prep is a small state primary in South Norfolk that parents clearly want to get into. For the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 87 applications for just 27 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3. 22. All 27 first-preference applicants were offered a spot, which suggests that for families who put it top of their list, the odds are reasonable, but competition is still stiff. With only 23 pupils on roll against a capacity of 420, the school is running well below its potential size, which may reflect its selective intake or a recent expansion of its catchment. The school does not have a published parent-view recommendation percentage in the data, so it is not possible to report on that metric here. However, the high demand alone signals strong local confidence in what Carmel Greene and her team are offering.
