About Beacon Rise Primary School

Beacon Rise Primary School is a state-funded, mixed primary in South Gloucestershire that is currently full to capacity with exactly 630 pupils on roll. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 10.8%, which is below the national average and suggests a relatively advantaged intake compared with many schools nationally. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 admissions cycle, the school received 205 total applications for 89 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.3. Of those, 108 were first-preference applications, and 88 first-preference offers were made, meaning the school is heavily oversubscribed and most families who put it first were successful, but competition is real. The school is non-religious and serves the 4–11 age range, with no nursery or sixth form provision.
