Beckers Green Primary School at a glance

Located in Braintree, Essex, Beckers Green Primary School is a primary school, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. The school educates roughly 317 pupils aged 5 to 11. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 60% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — broadly in line with the national average of 61%. That is down 2.0 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 in the top 45% of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 104 in reading and 104 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 11% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Competition for places is real here - 75% of first-choice applicants were offered a Reception place for September 2026 (59 first choices for 44 places). The council's own allocation figures show the last child offered a place for 2025 lived 0.94 miles away in a straight line — that distance is not a fixed catchment and moves each year. Overall pupil absence was 5.9%. There are about 22.9 pupils per teacher. Beckers Green 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.
