About Heritage Park Primary School

Heritage Park Primary School is a state primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 4 to 11 in Peterborough, and it is currently running very close to full capacity with 205 pupils against a school capacity of 210. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 11.7 per cent, which is notably lower than the national average for primary schools and suggests a relatively less disadvantaged intake compared with many schools in the local authority. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 89 total applications for just 30 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.97. Of those, 44 were first-preference applications, and all 30 places went to first-preference offers, indicating that the school is a popular first choice among local families. The school has no religious character, and its headteacher is Karen Bell.
