About John of Gaunt Infant and Nursery School

John of Gaunt Infant and Nursery School is a state primary in Broadland, Norfolk, catering for children aged 2 to 7. With 202 pupils on roll against a capacity of 232, the school is not yet full, but demand is clearly strong. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 57 total applications for 37 places, with all 37 first-preference applicants offered a spot — an oversubscription ratio of 1.54. This suggests a solid local reputation, though not the most competitive in the area. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 7.7%, which is notably lower than the national primary average of around 23%, indicating a relatively affluent intake. The school does not have a religious character, so admissions are based purely on catchment and council criteria. Its nursery provision means children can join from age two, giving families a smooth transition into the infant phase.
