If you have been informed by Bexley Admissions that your child has been allocated a place at Belvedere Infant or Junior School, you will be contacted by the school and invited to visit with your child.

The Local Authority holds all waiting lists for places that may become available throughout the year.

Although Bexley is the admissions authority, an independent panel considers appeals and their decision is binding on both parties.
