About Kenninghall Primary School

Kenninghall Primary School is a small state primary in Norfolk that clearly appeals to local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 44 applications for just 14 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.14. Fifteen of those applications were first-preference choices, and all 14 places went to first-preference families. That level of demand suggests parents who know the school well are keen to secure a spot. The school is at full capacity with 105 pupils, so it’s a tight-knit community where every child is known. Headteacher Alex Seager leads a mixed, non-religious primary for ages 4 to 11. While there is no parent survey data available to give a direct recommendation percentage, the high oversubscription ratio is a strong signal that local families rate the school highly.
