From the Beaumont School
We take great satisfaction in both getting great exam scores and truly developing each student as a whole person both within and outside of the required curriculum. The academic performance at Beaumont is at the very best levels across a broad and balanced curriculum, and it is backed by first-rate spiritual care. We are an 11-18, mixed, community school with Academy status, located on the east side of St Albans, with specialisms in Languages, Mathematics and Computing. All kids are given the opportunity to flourish and are provided a wide variety of learning and enrichment activities at the school, which offers an excellent education. The school has recently been enhanced by the construction of new, state-of-the-art facilities for Sport, Mathematics and Computing and we continue to strive to improve our students experiences in all areas, with a new Science block in the planning stages for construction next year, combined with refurbishment of some of our older buildings. I am immensely proud to be the Headteacher of such a fantastic School, with over 1200 students and 150 highly qualified staff who are committed to giving of their best throughout their time with us. The parents and members of our Governing Body are very supportive of us in this. I hope that this website gives you some insight into life at Beaumont and it will help you to decide whether Beaumont is the right school for you and that, if you join us, you too will enjoy and excel.
