Welcome, whether you are visiting our website as an existing parent, a potential parent or as a member of our local or wider community, we are sure you will enjoy finding out a little more about our wonderful school. Beecholme is a one form entry primary school with its own Nursery in the heart of Mitcham.
Beecholme is part of the PACE Academy trust alongside three other schools. We are set back from the main streets of Mitcham which gives our wonderful school that country feel. We are fortunate enough to be based in superb grounds with extensive outdoor space for the children to use and facilitate throughout the year.
These include: bigger than average sized classrooms, outside learning areas for all year groups, fully functioning library, playground with a basketball court, a larger than normal field and a pond which is also used as a quiet reading area.
The children, staff and governors are extremely proud of our school and as the Headteacher of Beecholme it is a privilege to work in partnership with everyone but most importantly our wonderful children!
In the school’s own words, from the school website.
