About Beaconsfield High School
Beaconsfield High School is a happy and high-achieving grammar school in the delightful town of Beaconsfield. The school is oversubscribed, our students do incredibly well academically at both GCSE and A-Level, and make good progress each year that they are with us. We are currently ranked 7th in The Times’ best secondary and grammar schools in the Southeast, with a national rank of 37th. In December of 2024, Ofsted designated the school as ‘outstanding’ in all areas. The vast majority of our students go on to higher education, but we pride ourselves on being ‘remarkable’ and support our students on increasingly diverse pathways, ensuring excellent careers provision.
In school our ‘remarkable’ practice is seen in our approach to performance management, which operates in accordance with the ethos of our school: professional trust; it is a process focused on development, not judgments. We are a school dedicated to innovation and research-informed practice; we have expert teachers excited by their professional development and this makes the school an inspirational place to work. Year on year in our staff surveys, 100% of our staff tell us they are proud to work here. As a result, our young people benefit from staff who are energised and creative and inspire them to reach their potential; our Progress 8 last year was 1.03.
We have spent much time and thought over the last few years on our flexible working offer for staff. This is an ongoing process, and we are excited by potential future opportunities. Already we are very accommodating to part time work, give enhanced PPA, and allow PPA to be taken off-site. We also have flexible meeting time and employ cover supervisors, and over-staff in order to limit cover requirements for teachers. We have sensible and evidence-based feedback processes to make marking manageable for teachers. Our staff leave of absence policy is applied generously, and formal and informal flexible working requests are considered. Being an Academy, we are also able to ensure that school holidays are generous.
At our school, there is so much positive energy, achievement and ‘buzz’. Our staff give generously of their time to enable the students to have wonderful and enriching experiences, such as languages trips, history trips, ski trips, sports tours, music tours, Duke of Edinburgh expeditions, to mention but a few. Sporting achievements are outstanding, with national medals being won by several of our teams; hundreds of our students take part in the Duke of Edinburgh scheme and many students take part in debating competitions, mock trials, young enterprise competitions, drama productions, music concerts … the list is endless.
We believe that students should feel cared for, and we work very hard to support their wellbeing through a strong pastoral care framework, and our life skills ethos, called ‘Getting Life-Ready’. We recognise that happy and confident young people are far more successful in all that they do. There is something for everyone at our school and the ethos and atmosphere is one of acceptance and mutual respect.
