Beecholme Primary is a friendly, one-form entry school. Located in Mitcham, near the border of Streatham and Tooting, we converted to Academy status in September 2016 and work closely with the five schools in PACE Academy Trust. The building has been fully renovated and provides a superb learning environment.
