About Heather Avenue Infant School

Heather Avenue Infant School is a state primary in Broadland, Norfolk, and it is currently running well below its physical capacity. With 114 pupils on roll against a school capacity of 168, there is significant room for growth, yet the school is already oversubscribed for Reception places in the 2025/26 admissions round. It received 62 total applications for just 25 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.48, and all 25 first-preference applicants were offered a spot. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 16.7%, which is higher than the national average for primary schools, suggesting the school serves a community with above-average levels of economic disadvantage. The school is mixed, non-denominational, and caters exclusively to children aged 5 to 7, meaning families will need to plan for a separate junior school transfer at the end of Year 2.
