The Beacon is an independent day school for boys and girls aged 3-13 years. We pride ourselves on delivering best-in-class education in an enriching and enlightening environment. We prepare children for what's now, what's next and wherever life may take them.
We are Yorkshire’s first special free school, offering a highly personalised education which combines academic and vocational subjects along with valuable life, social and communication skills.
We are committed to inspiring and enabling our students, delivering meaningful skills for life in a holistic, nurturing, and stimulating learning environment. This is achieved through exceptional teaching, unwavering support, outstanding work experience, and positive interactions and role models. We repeatedly instil good behaviours in order to encourage resilience, independence, confidence, and wellbeing in all of our students.
