Beal High School Information

Beal High School is an Outstanding mixed comprehensive school and sixth form for students aged 11-18. “Exemplary behaviour, mutual respect and a highly inclusive culture are key contributory factors’ (Ofsted 2012) Beal is an outstanding school full of busy, energetic young people who are excited about learning alongside confident, inspiring adults who guide and support them. We are a diverse, vibrant community with a strong sense of mutual respect and a highly inclusive culture. Our students enjoy a rich, varied curriculum which unlocks their potential, ensuring exceptional outcomes and confident progression. High expectations mean on-going challenge and endeavour but we also have fun! Our students are really successful and we are consistently recognised in the top 20% of schools nationally for outstanding student progress and outstanding student achievement at GCSE. Our examination results place us confidently amongst any local comparison and this year our Sixth Form results showed our best ever APS per student score, exceeded only by selective schools. Whilst we are delighted by these achievements, we take most pride in our Value Added score of 1028.1 This reflects the individual progress made by all students irrespective of ability or background. It shows that wide opportunity, exemplary teaching and individual monitoring really do maximise success. Beal is a positive learning environment where young people can aspire, be challenged and excel in an atmosphere of safety and purpose. On average, 92% of our students go to university but 100% have meaningful progression opportunities which prepare them for their place as accomplished, confident members of society. We are proud of what we achieve but not complacent. We reflect, we evaluate and we plan. We are pleased to be outstanding; we are working towards exceptional.
