Beaver Road Primary School
Manchester, M20 6SX · Manchester · primary school
4th of 123 primary schools in Manchester we can score, 137 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 8.6/10 against 4,281 of them, against 8.3/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 75.0 · 78 | 62% | 4.78 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 20.0 · 92 | 38% | 3.53 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 75.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. 20.0% reached the higher standard. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (8.6 out of 10 against similar schools, 8.3 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Wonder World Drama, Kidslingo, Junior Sport Stars, Art Club, Dance, Gymnastics, and Multi sports. Music options include Woodwind, Strings, Guitar, Brass, and Piano. Football is played on the pitch. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 1059 pupils in a building with 1050 places, meaning it is over capacity by 9. This means places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the daily routine when operating over its stated capacity? What specific support is available for pupils who do not reach the expected standard? How is the after-school club structured for children who need care until late?
