About Eastgate Academy

Eastgate Academy is a state primary school in King’s Lynn and West Norfolk that is currently running at full capacity with 273 pupils against a published capacity of 270. The school serves a community with a notably high level of disadvantage: 38.5% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average for primary schools. Demand for places is strong — for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 75 applications for just 29 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.59. Of those, 31 families put Eastgate as their first preference, and 26 were offered a place. This level of competition suggests that local parents see the school as a particularly attractive option, and the data backs that up: Eastgate is ranked 4th out of 58 primary schools in the King’s Lynn and West Norfolk local authority area, placing it in the top 25% nationally.
