About St George's Church of England School, Bourton

St George's Church of England School in Bourton is a primary school that is currently full to the brim, with 119 pupils on roll matching its exact capacity. The school serves a relatively small community in Dorset, and its intake reflects a lower-than-average proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals at 7.6 per cent, compared with the national primary average of around 23 per cent. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 25 applications for just nine places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.78, and all nine first-preference applicants were offered a spot. This suggests a school that is well-regarded locally, particularly among families who value its Church of England character. The school also offers nursery provision for children from age two, meaning it can be a long-term choice for families starting early. With a mixed gender intake and a single headteacher, Jill Farndale, leading the school, it has the feel of a close-knit setting where most pupils stay from early years through to Year 6.
