Bearwood Primary School offers pupils a quality education in a secure, happy and stimulating environment. Through equality of opportunity we provide a broad and balanced curriculum which is designed to meet the individual needs of every child. The learning experience at Bearwood is progressive, inspiring and engaging - ensuring a love of learning. We strive to ensure children are at age-related expectations and even excel. Each child is encouraged to become an independent learner and accept responsibility for her/his own actions. As well as developing important social, emotional and communication skills, we aim to develop in our children positive attitudes towards school life and their role in the wider community.

In-Year Admissions
An in-year admission is when you apply to a school outside the normal admissions round and at a time when your child should already be attending school.
You would normally be making an in-year application if you have recently moved, you have arrived from another country or you want to transfer your child to another school.
If your child is already in school and you are thinking about a transfer to another school, you will need to be aware that many classes will already be full and we may not be able to immediately offer a place.
To apply for a place at Bearwood Primary School, you will need to make an application via Wokingham Council’s website which can be found using the following link:
