About Beeston Rylands Junior School
Beeston Rylands Junior School is a state primary for children aged 7 to 11, located in the Broxtowe area of Nottinghamshire. Within the local authority, it ranks 14th out of 25 primary schools, placing it in the top half of its immediate peers. The top-performing schools in the same local area include John Blow Primary School, Harworth CofE Academy, and Bunny CofE Primary School, which sit ahead in the rankings. The school is not the nearest outstanding-rated option in Broxtowe — that distinction belongs to Beeston Fields Flying High Academy, about 2.1 kilometres away. However, Beeston Rylands itself holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained since its most recent graded inspection in 2014. An ungraded inspection in November 2023 confirmed that the school remains Good. The headteacher is Catherine Turner, and the school has a capacity of 200 pupils, with 182 currently on roll.
