Schools in Beaconsfield
Beaconsfield has 10 schools coordinated by Buckinghamshire County Council, including 5 primaries and 2 secondary schools. All three Ofsted-rated schools hold a Good or Outstanding grade. Buckinghamshire retains a fully selective secondary system - all children in the Beaconsfield area sit the 11-plus assessment, and allocation to grammar or non-selective secondary school is based on this result.
Three schools are oversubscribed, and two faith schools operate in the area. Beaconsfield's affluent commuter profile and proximity to the M40 and M25 mean demand for places at popular primaries is high. One selective school in the area draws pupils from across South Bucks and the Chilterns. Families should review Buckinghamshire's grammar transfer test timetable when children are in Year 5.
