Beddington Park Academy Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for Beddington Park Academy?
The catchment area for Beddington Park Academy is the geographic zone Sutton uses to prioritise admissions when this primary school receives more applications than it has places. Children living inside the boundary are ranked higher under the oversubscription criteria, after looked-after children and siblings. Sutton publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.
As an academy, Beddington Park Academy sets its own admissions criteria, agreed with Sutton. The catchment area boundary is defined in the school's annual admissions policy, which may differ from the LA's general school admissions arrangements.
The official admissions policy, including the catchment boundary map, is published by Sutton before each admissions cycle. Always verify your address with the council before submitting an application, as boundaries can change year to year.
