About Norton Hill Primary School

Norton Hill Primary School sits within the Bath and North East Somerset local authority, a mixed state primary for children aged 2 to 11. Among the 63 primary schools in the area, it is one of only seven rated Outstanding by Ofsted. The top-performing peers in the LA, based on ranking scores, are Freshford Church School, St Julian's Church School, and Shoscombe Church School. Norton Hill is led by headteacher Kerrie-Anne Courtier and has a capacity of 630, though it currently enrols 263 pupils. The school is heavily oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 85 applications for 44 places, with 40 of those coming as first preferences. That gives an oversubscription ratio of 1.93, meaning nearly two families apply for every available spot. The school does not have a religious character, and it offers nursery provision for younger children, making it a popular choice for local families seeking a strong start in primary education.
