About Burghclere Primary School

Burghclere Primary School is a small state primary in Basingstoke and Deane, Hampshire, currently teaching 95 pupils against a capacity of 119, so there is some room to grow. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 11.7%, which is below the national average for primary schools, suggesting a relatively affluent intake. Demand is strong: for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 38 applications for just 16 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.38, and all 16 first-preference applicants were offered a place. That level of competition signals a school that local families are keen to get into. The school is mixed, non-denominational, and covers ages 4 to 11, with no nursery or sixth form provision. Headteacher Beulah Letchford leads a team that has recently seen the school’s Ofsted rating improve.
