About Severn Beach Primary School

If you're a parent considering Severn Beach Primary School, the feedback from other families is overwhelmingly positive. In the most recent Parent View survey, 97% of respondents said they would recommend the school, with every single parent agreeing that their child is happy and feels safe. The school is also slightly oversubscribed for Reception places in 2025/26, with 27 applications for 25 places, and all 25 first-preference applicants were offered a spot. Parents particularly praise the school's approach to behaviour, with 100% agreeing that pupils are well-behaved, and the support for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) also scores highly. While the school's overall Ofsted rating is Requires Improvement following its September 2024 inspection, it's worth noting that inspectors rated behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision as Good. The leadership and management and quality of education were the areas identified as requiring improvement.
