About South Wootton Infant School

South Wootton Infant School is a state primary for children aged 4 to 7 in King’s Lynn and West Norfolk, and it is currently a popular choice among local families. With 162 pupils on roll against a capacity of 180, the school is not quite full, but the demand is clearly there: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 99 applications for 41 places, with 40 of those coming as first preferences. That works out at roughly 2.4 applicants for every place, a solid signal of local confidence. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 8.6%, which is notably lower than the national primary average of around 23% — suggesting the school draws from a relatively less deprived catchment. The headteacher is Georgie Earl, and the school has no religious character or nursery provision.
