Bedonwell Infant and Nursery School Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for Bedonwell Infant and Nursery School?
The catchment area for Bedonwell Infant and Nursery School is the geographic zone Bexley uses to prioritise admissions when this primary school receives more applications than it has places.

Bexley publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.
