Beaver Green Primary School Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for Beaver Green Primary School?
The catchment area for Beaver Green Primary School is the geographic zone Kent uses to prioritise admissions when this primary school receives more applications than it has places. Children living inside the boundary are ranked higher under the oversubscription criteria, after looked-after children and siblings. Kent publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.
As an academy, Beaver Green Primary School sets its own admissions criteria, agreed with Kent. The catchment area boundary is defined in the school's annual admissions policy, which may differ from the LA's general school admissions arrangements.

Beaver Green Primary School has a published admission number of 420 places. 474 pupils were enrolled in the most recent data, giving a fill rate of 113%. At 113% capacity, the school is heavily oversubscribed. Kent allocates places using ranked criteria: looked-after children first, then siblings, then catchment distance. Living within the catchment area is a strong but not guaranteed advantage, as the last distance offered shrinks each year as applications rise.
The fill-rate figure above reflects overall demand, but the school's intake also varies by community profile. 46.5% of pupils at Beaver Green Primary School are eligible for free school meals, above the national average of around 24%. This reflects the school's role in a higher-deprivation area of Ashford.
