About Pinchmill Primary School
Pinchmill Primary School is a primary school in Bedford, classified by the DfE as a foundation school. Around 84 pupils aged 2 to 11 attend the school. 29% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, well below the national average (national figure: 61%). On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of primary schools nationally.
Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 99 in reading and 97 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made Pinchmill Primary School their first choice was offered one of its 6 Reception places. Overall pupil absence was 3.6%. There are about 16.4 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 10% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. Pinchmill 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.
