Open Evening 2025
We are pleased to announce that our next Open Evening will be:
Tuesday 8th July 2025
More details will be provided nearer the time but we can confirm that the evening would be aimed at those students currently in Year 4 or 5.
Students currently in Year 6 would have already been allocated places at a secondary school starting in September 2025 and be visiting the school for a seperate transition day during the summer term.
Admission into Year 7 in September 2025
To apply to join The Beacon School for Year 7 to start in September 2025, prospective families need to apply via Surrey County Council (SCC).
Applications can be completed by the child’s parent/carer online via the link below from the 1st September 2024. Paper copies are also available from the council on request.
Year 7 admissions via Surrey Country Council
Applications need to be submitted by the 31st October 2024 for September 2025 entry; while the student is in year 6 of their primary school. Families are allowed to list up to six schools, in order of personal preference, in their application.
Should you miss the 31st October deadline, your application may be considered as a late application, if there is no genuine reason for the late application. Late applications are only considered for spaces once all the on-time applications have been processed, therefore late applications can only be considered if spaces remain after the on-time applications have been processed.
Families will be informed of the outcome of your application in the evening of the 3rd March 2025. You will usually receive an email from Surrey County Council. If you applied online, you may also receive a notification from Eadmissions or the ParentComms app.
The school’s admission criterion below sets out admission preferences in case of over-subscription.
In-Year Admissions to year 7 to 11
In-Year admissions are applications to join The Beacon School outside of the normal Year 7 application cycle, at the end of Year 6 for a September start.
Applications can only be considered if there is space in the relevant year group. We currently have space available in most year groups.
In Year Admissions applications are co-ordinated by Surrey County Council (SCC). You should not withdraw your child from their current school until you have secured a place for them at another school.
