Beecholme Primary is a friendly, one-form entry school. Located in Mitcham, near the border of Streatham and Tooting, it is a real hidden gem. Our diverse setting boasts more than twenty languages and a rich, cultural atmosphere that is celebrated in everything that we do. We are lucky enough have extensive grounds with an abundance of outdoor space to support learning across the curriculum.
As part of PACE Academy Trust, we work alongside three other schools with the mission to provide education and care of high quality in happy, inspiring environments, in which all children and adults are valued and encouraged to succeed. We work collaboratively as a trust on many key areas, with the flexibility and independence to innovate as a school.
Our staff are a dedicated and close-knit team who are all passionate about providing the best possible outcomes for our pupils. Our teachers and support staff work closely together and there is a strong atmosphere of trust. Amongst teachers, there is a high level of collaboration and support.
We welcome further discussions with the Headteacher and invite you to view our website.
We do hope you will feel encouraged to join our dedicated and hard-working team.
