Norwood Primary School
About Norwood Primary School
Norwood Primary School is a popular choice among local families, and the numbers back that up. For the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 73 applications for just 30 places, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 2.43. Of those applicants, 32 put Norwood as their first preference, and all 30 places went to first-preference families. That level of demand suggests a school that parents in Peterborough actively want their children to attend. While the school doesn't publish a formal parent satisfaction survey, the high application numbers relative to capacity are a strong signal that it holds a good reputation locally. The school is a state primary for mixed genders aged 4 to 11, with a current roll of 208 pupils against a capacity of 210, so it is running very close to full. Headteacher Deborah Reynolds leads a school where 36.5 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is above the national average, yet the school continues to attract strong interest from families across the area.
