Burstwick Community Primary School
About Burstwick Community Primary School
Burstwick Community Primary School is a small state primary in the East Riding of Yorkshire, currently educating 127 pupils against a capacity of 156, meaning it has room to grow. The school serves a community with above-average economic disadvantage: 23.5% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, compared with a national primary average of around 23.8% in recent years, placing it slightly above the typical level. Demand for places is strong — for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 24 applications for 15 places, with all 15 first-preference applicants offered a spot, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.6. This suggests a school that is popular locally but not yet stretched to its full capacity. The intake is mixed, with nursery provision available from age three, and the school has no religious character. It is led by headteacher Ian Cutts and was rated Good by Ofsted in its most recent graded inspection in 2022.
