About Burley Gate CofE Primary School

Burley Gate CofE Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 23 applications for just 10 places, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 2.3. All 10 first-preference applicants were offered a spot, which suggests that while demand is strong, those who put it first have a solid chance. The school is a Church of England primary with a nursery provision, catering for children from age 2 up to 11. With 82 pupils on roll against a capacity of 105, there is some physical room to grow, but the oversubscription figures indicate that it is already operating at a level where places are competitive. The headteacher is Michele Lewis, and the school sits within the Herefordshire, County of local authority.
