School profile

The Beaconsfield School

We are a nonselective 11–18 secondary school. We are smaller than average, which means our dedicated staff really know each student well, fostering positive relationships and mutual respect throughout our school community.

Our school vision is to ensure every student realises their potential, supported by every member of our community having high aspirations for success, both within and beyond the classroom. We offer a broad and challenging curriculum along with a wide variety of extra-curricular opportunities. Our aim is to develop confident, responsible young people who actively enjoy school, value learning, and are prepared for secure, happy, and fulfilling futures.

Along with Danes Educational Trust, we are committed to working with students, parents, staff, and the wider community to ensure that TBS is the best school it can be a school that is constantly improving for its students. Through strong partnerships, we aim to provide a great education, create wonderful opportunities, and help students achieve the best examination results possible.
