Admissions

We understand that choosing your child’s school is a big decision and, therefore, encourage you to visit us. Please phone the school office to arrange a visit. You will be part of a group.

School Tours

All visits are during the school day and include a walk through the school, exploring the Beddington Infants’ School experience.

Our School Tours all run from 9.15am-11.45am and are usually scheduled for various dates during the Autumn term, however if you would like to visit outside of this time, please call the school office on 020 8647 7813.

There are two parts to the tour, Part 1) the Headteacher’s Welcome and Part 2) the opportunity to walk around the learning environment led by a member of the Senior Leadership Team.

Please let us know if you can’t stay for the whole tour, it is possible for you to watch the Headteacher’s Welcome here and on the selected date, visit the learning environment only. You are welcome to bring young children with you, but we do ask that you do your best to ensure that they don’t interrupt the provision.

We are looking forward to meeting you!

Applying for a place for your child to join Reception

The deadline to apply for your child to join Reception will be in January 2025. The actual date is to be confirmed by the London Borough of Sutton.

There are 3 Reception classes with 30 children in each. The transfer to the Reception classes takes place in the September following a child’s fourth birthday. The offer of a Nursery place is not a guarantee of a place in Reception, as a child who has not attended the Nursery class can apply directly for the Reception classes in the September following his/her fourth birthday.
