About Burlish Park Primary School

Burlish Park Primary School is a state primary in the Wyre Forest area of Worcestershire, and it is currently running above its official capacity. With 444 pupils on roll against a capacity of 420, the school is clearly popular with local families, and the admissions data for 2025/26 confirms that demand outstrips supply. The school received 80 total applications for 60 places, with 59 of those coming as first preferences, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.33. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 10.7%, which is below the national average for primary schools, suggesting the intake draws from a relatively less disadvantaged demographic than many schools nationally. The school is mixed, non-denominational, and covers ages 3 to 11, including a nursery provision. Heather Lindley is the headteacher, and the school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 rated it Good overall, a significant improvement from its previous Inadequate rating in 2017.
