About Bersted Green Primary School, Bognor Regis

Bersted Green Primary School in Bognor Regis is a state primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 4 to 11, currently serving 271 children against a capacity of 440. That means the school is operating at around 62% of its total possible places, which is worth noting for parents considering their options. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 37.3%, significantly higher than the national average for primary schools, which typically sits around 23-24%. This context matters because it shapes the school's intake and the challenges it faces. Despite the spare capacity, demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 79 applications for just 26 places, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 3.04 applicants per place. Of those, 23 were first-preference applications, and 23 first-preference offers were made, suggesting that while the school is popular locally, not every family who wants a place will get one.
