About Bourne Elsea Park Church of England Primary Academy

Bourne Elsea Park Church of England Primary Academy is clearly a school that local families are keen to get into. For the 2025/26 intake, it received 114 applications for just 30 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3. 8. Of those applications, 39 were first-preference choices, and 27 first-preference offers were made, so even putting it top of your list doesn't guarantee a spot. That level of demand suggests a strong reputation among parents, though the school doesn't publish a formal parent-view recommendation percentage. The school is a Church of England primary in South Kesteven, Lincolnshire, with Louise Jordan as headteacher. It currently has 270 pupils on roll, which is above its official capacity of 210, so it's clearly a popular choice. Around 18. 5% of pupils qualify for free school meals, which is close to the national average for primary schools.
