Everton Heath Primary School
About Everton Heath Primary School
Everton Heath Primary School sits within Central Bedfordshire, a local authority home to 95 primary schools, of which just three currently hold an Outstanding rating. The school itself is rated Good following its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, placing it in the solid middle tier of provision locally. Among its closest peers in the area, the top-ranked schools are Lark Rise Academy, Totternhoe Church of England Academy, and Raynsford Church of England Academy, each scoring higher on the local ranking index. Everton Heath is a small, mixed-gender state primary with a nursery provision for children aged three to eleven, and it is led by headteacher Emma Bircham. With 85 pupils on roll against a capacity of 113, the school is not yet full, yet it is oversubscribed for Reception entry in 2025/26, receiving 24 applications for just 10 places, all of which went to first-preference families. That demand suggests a strong local reputation, even if the school does not top the LA's performance tables.
