STEP Academy Trust is the admission authority for the Academies within the Trust and the allocation of school places has been delegated to the Local Authority School Admissions Team.
Please see below information regarding admissions guidance for parents on applying for a school. This includes basic information for parents on the choices they can make (ie to cater for those who are returning from the EEA who might not be fully up to speed with the English schools system), links across to the devolved administrations’ sites for those returning to Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland, and more information on the in-year admissions process – https://www.gov.uk/schools-admissions .
Applications for classes other than Nursery must initially be made to your Local Authority (the authority you pay your council tax to) via their website. Here is a handy link to Sutton’s admissions page:

Applications will be prioritised according to the general criteria outlined below, and in full accordance with our Admissions Policy.
2023-2024 Reception Intake
We understand that choosing a school for your child is both an exciting and carefully considered decision. With this in mind, we are delighted to announce that we have arranged tours of our school for prospective parents of Reception children for September 2023. You will get a chance to have a guided tour around the school and you will also meet our Early Years Lead, Mrs Waters, during a special presentation.
At Beddington Park Academy, we pride ourselves in providing a safe, stimulating and engaging learning environment for children to thrive. Our rationale for any decision making is based on our six drivers: sharing, balance, safety, teamwork, achieving and reasoning.
Our Early Years Setting provides the most wonderful foundations for our children to achieve and develop into lifelong learners. We have a large outdoor provision between nursery and reception which allows for shared learning for our children and well-designed classrooms that allow for all seven areas of the Early Years Curriculum to be reflected.
We are very excited to announce that you can now book an Early Years Open Day Tour online. Please click the following link in order to book onto a specific tour.
We look forward to welcoming you to our school!
