26th of 57 primary schools in Warrington we can score, 69 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 8.4/10 against 1,447 of them, against 7.1/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 78.0 · 84 | 40% | 3.36 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 7.0 · 51 | 25% | 1.27 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Beamont Primary School
Overview
Beamont Primary School is described as an encouraging community where pupils are happy, well-behaved, and feel safe. The report highlights a strong curriculum for older pupils and effective support for those with special educational needs, though it notes that the early years provision requires improvement due to a lack of clear structure and high expectations.
Strengths
- Pupils benefit from "strong relationships" with staff who "care about them" and take time to get to know them well.
- Leaders have designed an "interesting curriculum from Year 1 to Year 6" that is "suitably broad and ambitious," ensuring pupils "know and remember more over time."
- The early reading curriculum is clear, with staff delivering phonics "consistently well," resulting in most pupils becoming "fluent and confident readers by the end of Year 2."
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are identified early and receive effective support to "access the same curriculum as their peers."
- The school atmosphere is "calm and purposeful," with pupils being "polite, well mannered and friendly."
Areas to improve
- Leaders must ensure the early years curriculum "sets out the important knowledge and vocabulary" clearly, as it is currently not "structured coherently."
- Curriculum thinking in one or two subjects is unclear; leaders should define the "essential knowledge that pupils should know" to aid subsequent learning.
- Leaders should ensure early years staff have the expertise to deliver the curriculum effectively and develop children’s communication skills fully.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective," with staff receiving regular training and demonstrating "tenacity when following up and escalating their concerns."
