About Beddington Infants' School

Beddington Infants’ School in Sutton is a state primary for children aged 2 to 7, currently home to 290 pupils against a capacity of 312. That leaves a small buffer of 22 places, but demand tells a sharper story: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 203 applications for 68 total places, with 66 first-preference offers made. That works out at nearly three applicants for every spot, a clear signal that local families are keen. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 14.3%, which is slightly above the national primary average of around 12.5% but still below the London average, suggesting a broadly mixed catchment. The school is non-denominational and mixed, and it offers nursery provision for the youngest children. Headteacher Liz Kearney leads a setting that, while not the nearest Outstanding-rated option in the borough — that’s Beddington Park Academy, 0.9 km away — clearly holds strong appeal for Sutton parents.
