About Bedmond Academy

Bedmond Academy is a small primary school in Three Rivers that parents clearly want to get into. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 27 applications for just 14 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.93 — meaning nearly two families applied for every spot. All 14 first-preference applicants were offered a place, which suggests that while the school is popular, those who put it first stand a fair chance. The school has capacity for 240 pupils but currently has only 113 on roll, so it is operating well below its maximum. That small size may be part of its appeal, as is the range of facilities on offer: an art studio, sports hall, sensory room, outdoor playground and even a chapel. The headteacher is Lora Grant, and the school is non-religious in character.
