About Beaconside Primary and Nursery School

Beaconside Primary and Nursery School in Bromsgrove is a state-funded mixed primary for children aged 3 to 11, and it is currently operating at full capacity with 232 pupils against a capacity of 231. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 11.6%, which is below the national average for primary schools and suggests a relatively affluent local intake. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 81 applications for just 30 places, with 34 of those coming as first preferences. It made 29 first-preference offers, resulting in an oversubscription ratio of 2.7 applicants per place. This level of competition signals a school that is well-regarded locally and that parents are keen to secure a spot at. The school does not have a religious character, and its nursery provision means children can join from age three, which may appeal to families looking for continuity from early years through to Year 6.
