About Henderson Green Primary Academy

Henderson Green Primary Academy is a state primary school in Norwich that parents are clearly keen to get into. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 21 applications for just 9 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.33. All 9 of those places went to first-preference families, which suggests that for those who live closest or meet the criteria, it’s a realistic choice. The school is led by headteacher Emma Andrewes and has 162 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210, so there is some room to grow. It’s a mixed, non-religious school for children aged 5 to 11, and nearly half of its pupils (49.4%) are eligible for free school meals, which is well above the national average. The school does not have a nursery or sixth form, and it is not a boarding school.
