About Bevington Primary School

Bevington Primary School in Kensington and Chelsea is a state primary for children aged 2 to 11, and the numbers suggest it is a popular choice among local families. For the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 77 applications for just 24 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.21. Of those applications, 18 were first-preference choices, meaning the school was the top pick for the majority of families who applied. This level of demand is notable given the school’s current Ofsted rating of Requires Improvement, which it received following its most recent graded inspection in February 2024. The inspection judged every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — as requiring improvement. That marks a significant shift from the school’s previous inspection in 2012, when it was rated Outstanding across the board. The headteacher is Jagdeep Birdi, and the school has a nursery provision for children from age two.
