About Saxlingham Nethergate CofE VC Primary School

Saxlingham Nethergate CofE VC Primary School is a small Church of England primary in South Norfolk that clearly commands strong local demand. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 23 applications for just 6 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.83, meaning nearly four families applied for every spot. All six first-preference applicants were offered a place, which suggests that while competition is real, those who put the school first stand a good chance. The school currently has 52 pupils against a capacity of 77, so there is some physical room to grow, but the oversubscription figures indicate that popularity among local parents is high. ParentView data is not available for this school, but the combination of a Good Ofsted rating and strong first-choice demand points to a school that local families trust and actively seek out.
