About Beaumont Primary School

Beaumont Primary School sits comfortably above the Croydon average for its key stage 2 results, with 77% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a local authority average of 66%. That puts the school in the top 25% nationally for this metric and 21st out of 77 primary schools in Croydon. The gap is even more pronounced at the higher end: 17% of Beaumont pupils achieved the higher standard in all three subjects, while in reading specifically, 60% hit the higher mark and the average scaled score was 111. Maths scores are similarly strong, with an average of 109 and 37% of pupils reaching the higher threshold. These figures suggest a school that is consistently pushing above the local norm, particularly in reading, where the gap between Beaumont and the Croydon average is widest.

The school's most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in February 2025, confirmed that it has maintained its Outstanding rating, a grade it first achieved in its previous graded inspection. The inspection team rated leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness all as Outstanding, with early years specifically singled out. In the 2023/24 key stage 2 results, 93% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, 90% in maths, and 87% in writing, all well above national benchmarks. The school's Progress 8 scores are not available in the data, but the high attainment levels suggest effective teaching across the board. Parent feedback is overwhelmingly positive: 87% would recommend the school, and 90% of respondents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy there. The school also scores well on communication, with 99% of parents agreeing the school makes them aware of what their child will learn.

Beaumont is a heavily oversubscribed school, with 333 applications for just 30 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, and 75 first-preference applications for 28 offers. That works out at an oversubscription ratio of 11.1 to one, so getting a place is competitive. The school has a range of facilities including a sensory room, art studios, music rooms, an ICT suite, and a sports hall, plus clubs covering drama, choir, gardening, chess, eco club, and book club. It also offers a broad set of sports including cross country, dance, athletics, and cricket. For SEND, the school lists provisions for specific learning difficulties, moderate learning difficulties, social, emotional and mental health needs, speech and language needs, hearing impairment, and autistic spectrum disorder. With 13.7% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school serves a broadly representative intake. It is a good fit for families who want a high-performing, oversubscribed primary with strong academic outcomes and a wide range of enrichment activities, but they will need to live very close to stand a realistic chance of securing a place.
