Beverley is the county town of the East Riding of Yorkshire with 20 state schools - 13 primaries and 3 secondaries. East Riding of Yorkshire Council co-ordinates admissions and publishes annual catchment maps for community schools. The town's schools serve not just Beverley itself but also a wide rural hinterland of villages in the East Riding, making distance calculations important for families on the edge of the town.

Secondary admissions in Beverley are notable for including two selective schools: Beverley Grammar School (boys) and Beverley High School (girls), both of which select by ability for Year 7 entry. The selective tests are administered each autumn, and children who do not gain a selective place can apply for Longcroft School and Sixth Form College, which is the main comprehensive secondary for the area.

7 schools in Beverley have a religious character, so faith criteria sit alongside catchment distance in their admissions policies.

4 of the schools in Beverley are academies that set their own admissions criteria independently of East Riding of Yorkshire, so check each school's policy directly rather than assuming the council default applies.
