Beacon Hill Primary School
About Beacon Hill Primary School
Beacon Hill Primary School in Waverley was rated Good in its most recent graded Ofsted inspection, a notable improvement from its previous rating of Requires Improvement. The school’s leadership and management were also judged Good, reflecting a clear upward trajectory. On the academic front, the most telling metric is the school’s Key Stage 2 performance, though the data does not provide a specific score for Beacon Hill itself. However, the local authority average for KS2 attainment in Surrey is 66, and the school sits within a competitive primary landscape where top peers like South Farnham School, The Raleigh School, and Cardinal Newman Catholic Primary School set a high bar. With only 184 pupils against a capacity of 244, Beacon Hill is a relatively small school, and its oversubscription ratio of 2. 08 — with 50 applications for 24 places in the 2025/26 intake — suggests strong local demand. The school’s Good rating and improved inspection record make it a solid choice for families prioritising steady academic progress.
