About Bevois Town Primary School

Bevois Town Primary School in Southampton is a mixed, state-funded primary for children aged 4 to 11, and it is clearly a popular choice among local families. With 406 pupils on roll against a capacity of 420, the school is running very close to full, and the demand is evident from its admissions data for the 2025/26 intake. The school received 102 total applications for just 51 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2:1, and 47 of those offers went to first-preference families. The pupil body is notably diverse in terms of disadvantage: 42.4% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is significantly higher than the national average of around 23% and well above the Southampton local authority average for primary schools. This context matters for parents weighing up the school’s inclusive intake against its academic outcomes, and it suggests a community-facing school that serves a broad socioeconomic mix.
