About Burton Joyce Primary School

Burton Joyce Primary School is a state primary in Gedling, Nottinghamshire, and the parent experience here is overwhelmingly positive. In the most recent Parent View survey, covering September 2024 to September 2025, 97% of the 96 respondents said they would recommend the school to other parents. That figure is backed up by strong individual scores: 98% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and 97% felt their child is safe. The school is also clearly popular with local families. For the 2025/26 academic year, Burton Joyce received 105 applications for just 45 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.33. Of those 105 applications, 41 were first-preference choices, and all 41 received an offer. That level of demand suggests a school that local parents actively want their children to attend, and the survey data indicates that once they are through the gate, families are largely satisfied with what they find.
