Cams Lane Primary School
About Cams Lane Primary School
Cams Lane Primary School sits in Bury, a local authority where the average Key Stage 2 attainment sits at 64, but the school itself doesn't publish its own KS2 results in the available data, making a direct head-to-head comparison impossible. What is clear from the local context is that Bury has only two primary schools rated Outstanding out of 64 total, and the nearest one, Chantlers Primary School, is 3. 6 kilometres away. Cams Lane holds a solid Good rating from its most recent graded inspection in 2016, and an ungraded inspection in 2020 confirmed it remains Good. That puts it in the majority of Bury primaries, but the school has clearly improved since its previous inspection in 2014, when it was rated Requires Improvement. With 200 pupils on a capacity of 210, it's running close to full, and the oversubscription data tells its own story: 57 applications for 30 places in the 2025/26 intake, with 29 of those going to first-preference families.
