About Benwick Primary School

The school holds a 'Good' judgement from Ofsted. 64% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, broadly in line with the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has risen by 20.0 percentage points year on year, though small year groups can make these figures swing sharply from year to year.

Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made Benwick Primary School their first choice was offered one of its 14 Reception places. Overall pupil absence was 4.7%. There are about 17.5 pupils per teacher. When comparing schools, it is still worth visiting in person to see whether the atmosphere and approach suit your child.
