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

The cut-off distance is how far the last child offered a place lived, not a catchment boundary: it moves every year with the number of applicants. Published by the council in its 2026 allocation figures, and checked against that document before we show it.

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

About Beamont Collegiate Academy

Beamont Collegiate Academy is a secondary school in Warrington, classified by the DfE as a sponsor-led academy. Around 897 pupils aged 11 to 16 attend the school. In the most recent GCSE results, pupils achieved an average Attainment 8 score of 45.8, broadly in line with the national average of 46. Results have held broadly steady on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it around the middle of secondary schools nationally.

38% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in both English and maths, below the national average of about 45%. 56% achieved a standard pass (grade 4+) in English and maths. Competition for places is real here - 85% of first-choice applicants were offered a Year 7 place for September 2026 (208 first choices for 180 places). The council's own allocation figures show the last child offered a place for 2026 lived 1.20 miles away in a straight line — that distance is not a fixed catchment and moves each year. After Year 11, 86% of its leavers went on to education, an apprenticeship or work that they stayed in for at least two terms. Overall pupil absence was 8.3%. There are about 12.9 pupils per teacher. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 44% 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. Beamont Collegiate 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.
