Surlingham Primary School
About Surlingham Primary School
Surlingham Primary School is a small state primary in South Norfolk, operating well below its capacity of 120 with just 59 pupils on roll. That spare capacity is not a sign of low demand, however: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 13 applications for just 7 places, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 1.86 applicants per place. All 7 first-preference families were offered a spot, suggesting the school is a realistic option for those who prioritise it. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 13.6%, which is broadly in line with the national average for primary schools and indicates a mixed socioeconomic intake. The school is mixed-gender, non-religious, and serves children from ages 4 to 11, with no nursery or sixth form provision.
