Kenninghall Primary School: admissions history
How many families applied, how many places there were, and how far the last place went - every year we hold.
For September 2026 entry, 7 families put Kenninghall Primary School as their first choice and 29 named it as one of their preferences, for 8 places offered. It had fewer first-choice applications than places, so in 2026 a family who put it first could expect an offer unless the school's other criteria ruled them out.
First-choice demand has fallen from 9 in 2021 to 7 in 2026, while places went from 12 to 8.
Across Norfolk, 94% of families were offered their first-choice primary school for 2026 entry, and 99% were offered one of the schools they named.
In 2025, families in Norfolk lodged 125 appeals against primary school offers; 60 reached a hearing and 20 succeeded (33.3% of those heard).
