About Burrowmoor Primary Academy

Burrowmoor Primary Academy is a state primary school in Fenland, Cambridgeshire, and the numbers around its admissions tell a story of a school that local families are actively seeking out. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 34 applications for just 18 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1. 89. All 18 first-preference applicants were offered a spot, meaning that while the school is popular, it is not yet so oversubscribed that it is impossible to get into on a first choice. This level of demand suggests that parents in the area see something worth pursuing, even though the school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, carried out in June 2022, rated it Inadequate across every category — including overall effectiveness, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. That rating was a downgrade from its previous inspection in 2018, when it was judged to Require Improvement.
