About Little Plumstead Church of England Primary Academy
Little Plumstead Church of England Primary Academy is a state primary school in Broadland, Norfolk, that currently educates 189 pupils against a capacity of 210, leaving it with around 10% spare places. Its intake reflects a relatively low level of disadvantage: 11.1% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is below the national average for primary schools. The school is clearly popular with local families — for the 2025/26 academic year, it received 40 applications for 30 places, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 1.33 applicants per place. Of those, 22 were first-preference applications, and all 22 received offers, suggesting that while demand is healthy, the school is not heavily oversubscribed to the point of turning away many local children. As a Church of England school, it has a religious character, though the data doesn't specify any particular admissions criteria tied to faith. The headteacher is Pierce Hunt.
