Beormund Special School relocation and expansion
Southwark Council has approved plans to relocate and expand Beormund Special School, creating 56 places for pupils with social, emotional, and mental health needs.
Southwark Council's Executive approved plans in October 2026 to relocate and expand Beormund Special School, which will create 56 places for pupils with social, emotional, and mental health needs. The outstanding primary school will move from its current site to a new, purpose-built facility in Peckham.
The expansion will increase the school's capacity from 35 to 56 pupils, addressing a growing demand for specialist educational provision in the borough. The new school is expected to open in January 2027, replacing the current site which a report said is no longer fit for purpose.
