About Beechview Academy
Beechview Academy has a mixed picture when it comes to parent experience. In the most recent Parent View survey, covering September 2024 to September 2025, 76% of the 17 respondents said they would recommend the school. That leaves nearly a quarter who would not, which is a significant minority. On the plus side, strong majorities felt their child is happy (76% combined strongly agree/agree) and safe (83%). The school also scores well on communication: 88% agreed the school makes them aware of what their child will learn, and 70% felt they are kept informed of progress. However, only 59% felt concerns are dealt with properly, and 24% disagreed with that statement. The school is not oversubscribed — it has capacity for 240 pupils but currently has 170 on roll, so there is space for new families. The headteacher is Laura Parry-Woolner.
