Best Primary School in Beaconsfield

[settleforgood]

Dear All,

We are moving to Beaconsfield in next 2-3 months . Our daughter is in Year 3 and we will want an In Year admission.

We wanted to get you opinion on St Mary's COE as the latest ofsted rating isnt great . Other option is Butler school.

We will be staying close to old town .

Please can you share your opinion about both schools and if any recommendations ?

Requesting your opinion so I can choose the right school for my daughter

@settleforgood Have you asked if they have a vacancy? Bucks CC maintains a list. Village schools are more sought after.

At Mary’s has vacancies for y3, Butlers Court, no. 18 Sept.

I would see which schools have spaces and go from there

Both good schools, OP. Either will be fine if they have space. Visit them and see which you prefer.

Butlers Court doesn’t have a space at present. Look if other schools have spaces you might like.

Thankyou All. We are checking with St Mary's . Just wasnt confident as their last ofsted was shwoing need improvement.

They have come back and said , they have one space and we need to confirm space in 6 weeks but we are only moving in January. So maybe have to try luck again :(

Can the space again become available after Oct half term or before January ?

@settleforgood I’m not entirely sure that’s legal. If another child requests a place in y3, and can start immediately, the place must be offered to them and not you. They cannot, I believe, keep a space open for you for 6 weeks. @admission might know.,You still might find spaces available when dc can start.
