About Newton Burgoland Primary School

Newton Burgoland Primary School is a small state primary in North West Leicestershire that is noticeably oversubscribed. With 85 pupils on roll against a capacity of just 77, the school is already operating above its official limit, and the demand is clear: for 12 places available in the 2025/26 intake, there were 32 total applications, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.67. All 11 first-preference applicants received offers, but the remaining 21 families who applied will have looked elsewhere. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 11.8%, which is below the national average for primary schools, suggesting a relatively affluent intake. The school is non-denominational and co-educational, serving children from ages 4 to 11, and is led by headteacher Sue Ward.
