Questions about Belleville Primary School

How far away do you need to live to get into Belleville Primary School?

In 2026, the last place offered under the distance criterion went to a child living 1,210 m (0.75 miles) away. In the five years with a distance cut-off (2022 to 2026), it ranged from 893 m (0.55 miles) (2025) to 1,210 m (0.75 miles) (2026). Cut-offs move each year with the number of applicants and siblings, so treat these as a guide to past years, not a promise.

Do siblings get priority at Belleville Primary School?

Yes. Under the 2026 admission rules, children with a brother or sister at the school get priority after looked-after and previously looked-after children, ahead of children admitted on distance. In 2026, 59 of the 150 places went to siblings. Check the school’s admission arrangements for who counts as a sibling.

How many applications does Belleville Primary School get?

In 2026, Belleville Primary School received 512 applications for 150 Reception places: about 3.4 applications for each place, counting all six preferences. Families name several schools, so one child can count as an application at more than one school.

What are my chances of getting into Belleville Primary School?

It depends mostly on how far away you live, unless you have a sibling at Belleville Primary School or another priority. For a family applying on distance: living within 893 m (0.55 miles) would have got a place in all five years we have figures for, and living more than 1,210 m (0.75 miles) away, in none of them. This is what happened in past years, not a promise. Our Shortlist replays your own address against each year.

Is Belleville Primary School oversubscribed?

Yes, in 2026 places ran out: the last place under the distance criterion went to a child living 1,210 m (0.75 miles) away. It had 512 applications for 150 places, counting every preference families named.

Is Belleville Primary School’s catchment getting smaller?

Belleville Primary School has no fixed catchment area: places on distance go to the families living closest, so the cut-off moves each year. The distance cut-off grew from 893 m (0.55 miles) in 2025 to 1,210 m (0.75 miles) in 2026. It depends on how many families apply and how many places go to siblings, so one year’s change doesn’t say what happens next.

What was Belleville Primary School’s latest Ofsted inspection result?

At its graded inspection on 2 March 2022, Ofsted’s overall judgement of Belleville Primary School was Outstanding. From Ofsted’s data as at 30 September 2026. The full report is on Ofsted’s website.
