About Beamont Collegiate Academy

Beamont Collegiate Academy’s headline academic metrics stand out clearly against the Warrington local authority average for secondary schools. While the LA average Progress 8 score sits at -0.29, Beamont achieves a positive 0.16, meaning its pupils make significantly more academic progress than the typical student in the borough. This places the school 5th out of 13 secondary schools in Warrington, comfortably in the top half of the local league table. Nationally, it ranks in the top 38% of all schools for Progress 8, a solid performance for a state comprehensive. The school’s Attainment 8 score of 45.7 further reinforces this picture, and 59.4% of pupils achieve a grade 4 or above in both English and maths. Beamont is not an elite grammar or a selective academy, but its results show it is delivering well above the local norm, particularly given that 43.7% of its 897 pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure well above the national average.
