About Burton Fields School

Burton Fields School has a strong parent-experience story, though specific parent-view data isn't available in this dataset. What is clear is that the school is significantly oversubscribed relative to its size: with 184 pupils against a capacity of 240, it's operating at about 77% capacity, suggesting steady local demand. The school serves a community with high levels of disadvantage — 56% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average. This context makes the school's recent Ofsted performance particularly notable. In its most recent inspection in 2023, the school was rated Good overall, a remarkable turnaround from its previous inspection in 2017 when it was rated Inadequate. The inspection team highlighted Outstanding behaviour and attitudes, as well as Outstanding personal development, while leadership and management and quality of education were both rated Good. This suggests a school that has undergone significant improvement and now provides a stable, well-led environment for its pupils.
