About Abbot Beyne School

Abbot Beyne School is clearly a popular choice among local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 271 applications for 140 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.94. Of those applicants, 129 put it as their first preference, and all of them received an offer. That level of demand suggests parents in East Staffordshire see real value here. The school is a mixed, non-denominational secondary with a sixth form, and it currently educates 828 pupils against a capacity of 1,189, so there is room to grow. Headteacher Jamie Tickle leads a school that has been rated Good by Ofsted since its graded inspection in 2017, and an ungraded inspection in 2022 confirmed it remains Good. That is a solid improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2015, which points to sustained progress under the current leadership.
