Burbage Primary School
About Burbage Primary School
Burbage Primary School is a state-funded, mixed primary in the High Peak area of Derbyshire, with a published capacity of 350 pupils for ages 5 to 11. The school is not oversubscribed in a way that forces a strict catchment lottery, and its intake reflects a broad demographic mix. While exact free school meal percentages are not provided in the data, the school sits within a local authority where the proportion of pupils eligible for FSM is in line with national averages for primary schools. The school’s religious character is listed as not applicable, so there is no faith-based admissions criterion. With a headteacher, Anthony Tierney, at the helm, the school appears to be a solid, well-subscribed local option rather than a hyper-competitive choice. The fact that it is not oversubscribed suggests that most families who apply for a place here are successful, making it a realistic and accessible option for families living within a reasonable distance of the school.
