About Beulah Infants' School

Beulah Infants' School sits within the Croydon local authority, a large London borough with 88 primary schools in total. While the school itself is rated Good by Ofsted, it is not among the top-ranked primaries in the area — the leading trio locally are Heathfield Academy, St John's CofE Primary School, and Applegarth Academy. For parents seeking an Outstanding-rated school nearby, St James the Great RC Primary and Nursery School is just half a kilometre away. Beulah Infants' is a state-funded, mixed-gender primary for children aged 3 to 7, with a nursery provision on site. It has no religious character and is led by headteacher Nicole Stephenson-Tye. The school is noticeably oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 170 applications for just 57 places, with 49 of those going to first-preference families. That works out at nearly three applicants for every spot, suggesting strong local demand despite not topping the borough's rankings.
