Eversholt Lower School
About Eversholt Lower School
Eversholt Lower School is a small state primary in Central Bedfordshire, serving just 73 pupils aged 4 to 9. It sits in a local authority with 95 primary schools, only three of which hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted. The school itself is rated Good overall, a grade it earned in its most recent inspection in 2023. Among its local peers, the top-ranked schools in the area are Lark Rise Academy, Totternhoe Church of England Academy, and Raynsford Church of England Academy, though Eversholt’s own ranking data is not available for direct comparison. The school is heavily oversubscribed for its 2025/26 intake, with 23 applications for just 13 places and 12 of those going to first-preference families, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.77. This level of demand suggests strong local reputation, particularly given its small size and the fact it serves a narrow age range before pupils move on to middle school.
