About Tunstead Primary School

Tunstead Primary School is a small state primary in North Norfolk, currently teaching 73 pupils against a capacity of 116, meaning there is room for growth. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 9.6%, which is below the national average and suggests a relatively affluent intake. Despite the spare capacity, the school is clearly popular with local families: for the 2025/26 academic year, it received 20 applications for just 5 places, with all 5 first-preference applicants being offered a spot. That oversubscription ratio of 4:1 signals strong demand, particularly given the school’s rural setting. Headteacher Rebecca Quinn leads a mixed-gender, non-religious school for children aged 4 to 11, and the school does not have a nursery or sixth form. Facilities include a gymnasium, sports hall, sensory room, outdoor playground, and even a chapel, which is unusual for a school with no religious character.
