Beormund Special School

1 story · 1 council

Southwark Council has approved plans to relocate and expand Beormund Special School, increasing its capacity to 56 pupils.

Southwark Council's Executive approved plans in October 2026 to relocate and expand Beormund Special School, which supports pupils with social, emotional, and mental health needs. The decision will see the school move to a new, purpose-built facility in Peckham, increasing its capacity from 35 to 56 pupils to meet growing demand.

The new Beormund Special School facility is expected to open in January 2027. This relocation addresses the current site being no longer fit for purpose, as noted in the report to the council's Executive, and aims to meet a growing demand for specialist educational provision in the borough.
