Which primary schools in Biggleswade have the best SATs results?

Of the 2 primary schools in Biggleswade with 2025 Key Stage 2 results, the highest shares of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading and maths were at Biggleswade Academy (76% in reading, 75% in maths); and Langford Village Academy (76% in reading, 67% in maths). Small schools can swing a long way from one year to the next, because each pupil is a large share of the result.

Are there grammar schools in Biggleswade?

Do schools in Biggleswade have catchment areas?

Most state schools in Biggleswade have no fixed catchment boundary. When a school is oversubscribed, Central Bedfordshire allocates places on its published criteria - usually looked-after children first, then siblings, then home-to-school distance - so the practical cut-off moves each year. Each school's page here shows an estimate of its catchment radius.

How do I apply for a school place in Biggleswade?

Apply to Central Bedfordshire through its coordinated admissions process, even for academies and faith schools. In England the closing date is 31 October for secondary places and 15 January for primary places, in the year before your child starts. Independent schools run their own admissions, so apply to those directly.
