Beech Street Community Primary School
About Beech Street Community Primary School
Beech Street Community Primary School sits in the middle of the pack academically when compared with other primary schools in Salford. Its most recent Key Stage 2 results show that 57% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which is just four percentage points below the local authority average of 61%. That places the school 41st out of 65 primaries in the borough, putting it in the bottom half of Salford’s state primaries. The school’s ranking score of 57 places it firmly in the bottom 50% nationally too. However, the picture is more nuanced than a single headline number. In reading, 67% of pupils met the expected standard, and the average scaled score of 103 is solid. Maths tells a similar story, with 63% at the expected level and an average score of 101. Where the school really struggles is at the higher end: only 7% of pupils achieved the higher standard across all three subjects, compared with 17% in maths alone and 23% in reading.
