Nursery at Beulah Infants' School

Seven areas of early learning give Beulah’s nursery its curriculum framework. This is the nursery provision within Beulah Infants' School on Furze Road in Thornton Heath, part of the Pegasus Academy Trust. Its place within an infant school makes the distinction between nursery life and school admission especially important for families.
The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) provides the starting point for planning. In parent terms, learning is organised across seven areas of development, with teaching adjusted to children’s individual needs. Pegasus teaches mathematics daily within that framework. Learning needs, rather than a single expectation for every child, shape the support teachers provide.
Communication and participation are practical priorities across the Trust. Teachers support language and literacy, use sensory experiences to develop understanding, and adapt physical and practical activities so children can take part. Helping children recognise emotions and manage their behaviour also forms part of that approach. These are foundations for joining in with learning as well as managing relationships with other children.
Additional support has a named structure: the Pupil Passport. Children receiving provision beyond the usual classroom support have a personalised plan, developed with the parent, child, class teacher and Inclusion Manager. It records strategies, intended outcomes and short-term targets. Reviews usually take place termly, giving families a recurring opportunity to discuss how support is working.
Where concerns arise, the class teacher involves parents early, while the teacher and Inclusion Manager monitor progress together. Outside professionals can contribute assessments and advice. Wherever possible, Passport strategies are used within the normal classroom, keeping support connected to the child’s everyday learning.
Food requires a separate conversation about dietary needs. Across Pegasus, caterer Harrisons can usually accommodate allergies and intolerances with sufficient notice, although choice may be reduced; some families may prefer a packed lunch for specific, potentially dangerous intolerances. Beulah’s spring and summer 2026 menu included daily fruit, yoghurt, homemade bread and salad. That gives parents concrete food choices to discuss alongside any dietary restrictions.
Nursery attendance does not guarantee a Reception place and gives no nursery-attendance priority under the 2027–28 admission criteria. Families must make a separate application through Croydon Council’s electronic e-admissions process by the applicable closing date. There is no automatic transfer.
School staff cannot decide who receives a place. Front office staff can, however, help parents with the application process. Treat the nursery choice and the Reception application as separate decisions, and keep the application deadline in your family calendar.
Nursery enquiries go to the Beulah office on 020 8653 4918 or binfadmin@pegasusacademytrust.org. Pegasus uses Magic Booking for services requiring payment; families should refer to the school for current charges.
Studybugs supports communication with parents and absence reporting across the Trust. Parents having difficulty logging in can contact the school office, giving families a direct route for resolving access problems.
No. Families must apply separately, and nursery attendance gives no priority under the 2027–28 admission criteria.
