Bewsey Lodge Academy

School overview

Bewsey Lodge Academy is a primary school serving Warrington, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. It has 332 pupils aged 3 to 11 on roll. At its most recent graded inspection, Ofsted rated Bewsey Lodge Academy 'Good'. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 64% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — broadly in line with the national average of 61%. That is down 10.0 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 lower half of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 108 in reading and 107 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). Bewsey Lodge Academy was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 34 families who put it first were offered a place. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 52% 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. Given the recent dip in results, it may be worth asking the school what is behind the change and what is being done in response.
