About Burwell Village College (Primary)

Burwell Village College (Primary) is a state primary school in East Cambridgeshire that currently educates 377 pupils, well within its capacity of 450. The school serves a community where 20.4% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure that sits above the national average for primary schools and suggests a more diverse socioeconomic intake than many of its local counterparts. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 63 applications for 46 places, with 45 of those coming as first preferences. That oversubscription ratio of 1.37 confirms that Burwell is a popular choice among local families, and the fact that all first-preference applicants were offered a place indicates that while competition exists, it is not prohibitive for those living close enough to the catchment area.
