Buriton Primary School at a glance

Located in Petersfield, Hampshire, Buriton Primary School is a primary school, classified by the DfE as a community school. The school educates roughly 91 pupils aged 4 to 11. 80% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, well above the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has risen by 15.0 percentage points year on year, though small year groups can make these figures swing sharply from year to year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it among the top 15% of primary schools in England.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 107 in reading and 106 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 13% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made Buriton Primary School their first choice was offered one of its 15 Reception places. In 2026 the furthest child offered a place lived 4.98 miles from the school in a straight line, according to the council's published allocation figures; the distance changes every year with demand. Overall pupil absence was 5.2%. There are about 16.9 pupils per teacher. Buriton Primary School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected.
