About Terrington St John Primary School

Terrington St John Primary School is a small state primary in the King's Lynn and West Norfolk area, currently home to 59 pupils against a capacity of 85. That leaves a fair amount of spare places, but the school is actually oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake, with 15 applications for just 3 available places and an oversubscription ratio of 5 to 1. All three first-preference applicants received offers, which suggests strong local demand from families who really want a place here. The school's intake is notably less affluent than the national picture: 30. 5% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average of around 23%. That context matters when looking at the school's results, because it serves a community with higher-than-average disadvantage. The school is mixed, non-denominational, and takes children from age 4 to 11, with no nursery or sixth form provision.
