Budbrooke Primary School
About Budbrooke Primary School
Budbrooke Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 49 applications for just 27 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.81, meaning nearly two families applied for every spot. All 27 first-preference applicants were offered a place, which suggests that for those who list it first, the school is a realistic option. Parent satisfaction data isn't available here, but the high demand speaks for itself. The school is a mixed, state primary for children aged 4 to 11, with a current roll of 197 pupils against a capacity of 210, so there is a little breathing room. Headteacher Natalie Horlor leads a school where 18.8% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, slightly above the national average, and the school has no religious character.
