About Burhill Primary School

Burhill Primary School sits within Surrey local authority, a large county with 298 primary schools, and ranks 169th among them. In the more immediate Elmbridge borough, the school is placed 21st out of 21 primaries when measured by the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. For context, the top-performing peers in the same local authority include South Farnham School, The Raleigh School and Cardinal Newman Catholic Primary School. Burhill is a state-funded, mixed primary for children aged 3 to 11, with no religious character. It is led by headteacher Gemma Adams and currently has 548 pupils on roll against a capacity of 630. The school offers nursery provision and is heavily oversubscribed: for 2025/26 entry, it received 202 applications for 77 places, with 66 first-preference offers made, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2. 62. That level of demand suggests it is a popular choice locally, even if its academic ranking within Elmbridge sits at the bottom of the borough's table.
