About The Beeches Primary School

The Beeches Primary School in Peterborough sits comfortably above the local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, with 64% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a Peterborough average of 59%. That five-point gap is a meaningful one, placing the school 18th out of 53 primaries in the authority and in the top half nationally. It’s not a flashy outlier, but it’s a solid, above-average performer in a mixed local picture. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 confirmed a Good rating across every category — quality of education, behaviour, personal development, leadership and early years provision all scored a 2. That’s consistent with its previous Good inspection in 2014, suggesting steady, reliable leadership under headteacher Will Fisk rather than dramatic swings in quality.
