Burton Green Primary School
About Burton Green Primary School
Burton Green Primary School is a smaller-than-average state primary in York, with 146 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210, so there is room for growth. The school serves a community with a noticeably high proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals, at 29.4 per cent. That is well above the national average for primary schools, which typically sits around 23-24 per cent, and suggests a catchment with above-average levels of disadvantage. Despite this, demand for places is strong. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 22 applications for just 13 places, with all 13 first-preference applicants offered a spot. That gives an oversubscription ratio of 1.69, meaning nearly seven families for every five places. The school is led by headteacher Ash McGann and was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in March 2025, an improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2012.
