Reepham Primary School
About Reepham Primary School
Reepham Primary School is a state-funded mixed primary in the Broadland area of Norfolk, and it is currently running above its official capacity. With 225 pupils on roll against a capacity of 218, the school is clearly in demand, and the admission data for the 2025/26 intake confirms this: 49 applications were received for just 30 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.63. Of those, 28 were first-preference offers, meaning almost every family who put it first got a spot, but competition remains strong. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 11 per cent, which is below the national average for primary schools, suggesting a relatively affluent intake compared with the wider Norfolk picture. The school is led by headteacher Catherine Ogle and has no religious character, so it draws families from across the local area rather than from a particular faith community.
