About Begbrook Primary Academy

Begbrook Primary Academy sits within the Bristol, City of local authority, a large primary landscape of 101 schools where it ranks 34th. That places it comfortably in the top half of the city’s primaries, though the very highest performers locally are Summerhill Academy, Westbury Park School, and Ss Peter and Paul RC Primary School, each scoring well above Begbrook on the same KS2 expected standard metric. The school is a state-funded, mixed-gender primary for ages 3 to 11, with a nursery provision and no religious character. Its headteacher is Vicky Counsell. The nearest school rated Outstanding by Ofsted is Frome Vale Academy, just 1.5 kilometres away, but Begbrook itself holds a solid Good rating from its most recent inspection in September 2023, a grade it has maintained consistently since at least its previous inspection in 2013.
