About Wreningham VC Primary School

Wreningham VC Primary School is a small Church of England primary in South Norfolk, part of the Norfolk local authority. Among the 344 primary schools in the county, it ranks 38th, placing it comfortably in the top tier. Its closest peers at the very top of the local rankings include Ditchingham Church of England Primary Academy and Surlingham Primary School, both of which share a perfect ranking score, followed by Stalham Academy. With just 109 pupils against a capacity of 119, the school is noticeably oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, 48 families applied for 17 places, and all but one of the 17 first-preference offers went to families who listed it as their top choice. That level of demand suggests a strong local reputation, and the school’s Church of England character adds a distinctive layer for families seeking a faith-based setting.
