About Yaxham Church of England Primary Academy
Yaxham Church of England Primary Academy is a small state primary in Norfolk that parents clearly want to get into. For the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 31 applications for just 9 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.44 — meaning more than three families applied for every spot. All nine first-preference applicants were offered a place, which suggests that while demand is high, those who put Yaxham first stand a fair chance. The school has a Church of England character and is led by headteacher Jennie Muller. With 75 pupils on roll against a capacity of 104, there is some room to grow, but the current numbers show a tight-knit community. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 28%, which is above the national average and gives a sense of the school's intake.
