Burlington Infant School
About Burlington Infant School
Burlington Infant School is a state primary in East Riding of Yorkshire that currently serves 152 pupils against a capacity of 240, leaving it with just under two-thirds of its places filled. That spare capacity is notable given the school’s intake profile: 34. 9% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure well above the national average for primary schools and a clear signal that this is a school serving a community with higher-than-average economic disadvantage. Despite that, demand is strong. For the 2025/26 admissions cycle, the school received 49 total applications for 31 places, with all 31 first-preference applicants receiving offers. The oversubscription ratio of 1. 58 confirms that Burlington is a popular choice locally, even if it isn’t yet at full capacity. The school is mixed, non-denominational, and takes children from age 4 to 7, meaning families will need to plan for a separate junior school move after Year 2.
