Infant school

Ages 4–7

Key Stage 2 performance

Burrsville Infant Academy is an infant school for pupils aged 4–7. Pupils move on to a separate junior or middle school before Year 6, so the school does not enter pupils for the Key Stage 2 SATs and has no KS2 results to publish.

This applies to every infant school in England — it does not mean data is missing. Ofsted judgements and school information are shown below.

About Burrsville Infant Academy

Burrsville Infant Academy is a primary school in Clacton-on-Sea, Essex, classified by the DfE as a sponsor-led academy. Around 176 pupils aged 4 to 7 attend the school.

90% of the families who made Burrsville Infant Academy their first choice were offered a Reception place for September 2026, even though the school made at least as many offers as it had first choices - the rest withdrew, moved or fell outside a priority group. Overall pupil absence was 5.0%. There are about 19.6 pupils per teacher. Burrsville Infant Academy 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. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
