Red dashed line = one first choice per place. How to read this

Every child who put Beechwood Primary School first was offered a place in 2026, so no distance cut-off applied: living further away did not cost a place that year.

Application figures: DfE, school level applications and offers (2026 intake).

School overview

Beechwood Primary School is a primary school serving Leeds, classified by the DfE as a foundation school. It has 459 pupils aged 3 to 11 on roll. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 65% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — broadly in line with the national average of 61%. That is down 7.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it around the middle of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 107 in reading and 104 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 5% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Beechwood Primary School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 47 families who put it first were offered a place. Overall pupil absence was 7.5%. There are about 21.9 pupils per teacher. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 41% of pupils have been eligible for free school meals in the last six years, compared with roughly 24% nationally — useful context when reading the results above. Beechwood 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. 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.
