About Tilney St Lawrence Community Primary School

Tilney St Lawrence Community Primary School is a small state primary in Norfolk, and the numbers suggest a school that local families are keen to get into. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 25 applications for just 13 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1. 92. All 13 first-preference applicants were offered a place, which is a positive signal for parents who put it top of their list. However, it is worth noting that the school does not currently have a parent view score from Ofsted’s Parent View service, so there is no direct survey data on how families rate the experience. With 87 pupils on roll against a capacity of 105, there is some room for growth, and the school serves a community where 27. 6% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is above the national average.
