Burwell Village College (Primary)
Cambridge, CB25 0DU · Cambridgeshire · primary school
58th of 197 primary schools in Cambridgeshire we can score, 210 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 5.8/10 against 3,672 of them, against 5.7/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 66.0 · 54 | 40% | 2.16 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 9.0 · 61 | 25% | 1.53 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 66.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared with the national median of 64%. Only 9.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in April 2024. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (5.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.7 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Coding Club, Weird and Wonderful Science, Music Club, Seasonal Craft, Nature Club, Marvellous Maths, Cooking, and Mindfulness. Sports include Football Skills, Table Tennis, Tennis, Basketball, Ball Skills, Athletics, Archery, and Tri-golf. Arts and music options are Choir, Painting Craft Club, Drawing Club, and Dance. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 374 pupils in a capacity of 450 places, leaving 76 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who need extra help in maths, given that only 9.0% reached the higher standard? What are the specific times for the after-school club, and is there any provision for early morning care? How do you manage class sizes to ensure individual attention with 76 places currently vacant?
