About Suffield Park Infant and Nursery School, Cromer

Suffield Park Infant and Nursery School in Cromer is a state primary for children aged 4 to 7, and its latest admissions data suggests it is a popular choice locally. The school has a capacity of 225 pupils but currently enrols just 130, meaning there is significant room for growth. However, demand is clearly strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 55 applications for 43 places, with 45 of those applicants listing it as their first preference. That works out at 1.28 applications per place, and all 43 offers went to first-preference families. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 19.2%, which is notably higher than the national primary average of around 23% but still indicates a mixed intake. The school does not have a religious character, so admissions are not faith-based. With a nursery provision attached, it serves as a natural starting point for families in the North Norfolk area looking for a local infant school.
