Welcome To Our School
On behalf of all the staff, children, parents and governors, it gives us great pleasure to warmly welcome you to our wonderful school. We are delighted to be undertaking the role of co-headteachers from September 2024 as a natural progression from our previous positions as deputy heads since 2018 during which time we worked very closely alongside our CEO, Mrs Hussain, in order to drive the school forward.
Beech Hill School is a vibrant and welcoming school. We are committed to providing the best learning experiences possible with the children placed at the centre of everything we do.
At Beech Hill we believe that every child matters. There is a driving determination to ensure that pupils and adults in the school reach their full potential. Our ethos is a simple one: ‘Learning without Limits.’ We pride ourselves on having the highest expectations for all our children and believe that there are no limits on what they can achieve through our inclusive school culture. At the heart of the school is our commitment to work in partnership with parents, carers and the local community to raise aspirations for all and to provide a high quality education for every child which is based on respect, celebrating differences and providing every chance for success.
We strive to provide a curriculum that engages and inspires our children, providing them with rich and memorable experiences alongside lifelong knowledge and skills. We provide wider opportunities for children to develop as independent, confident, successful learners with high aspirations who know how to make a positive contribution to their community and the wider society. There is a high focus on developing children’s spiritual, moral, social and cultural understanding as well as basic skills. We are also keen to support children with developing individual talents and they are encouraged to endeavour, explore and question.
We are excited to continue to further develop our extensive grounds and forest school area with our Outdoor Play and Learning (OPAL) journey. We are enhancing and transforming our outdoor space so that children can be provided with a wealth of opportunities to discover and extend their natural talents as well as improve their creativity, imagination and collaborative skills. Here children learn first-hand about the riches of the natural environment whilst developing important life skills such as team work, problem solving and resilience.
Children have just one childhood; our intention is to provide them with inspirational and unforgettable learning experiences to prepare them for the next stage of their lives by the time they leave us. Children are immersed in our school values (friendship, tolerance, kindness, perseverance, determination, honesty, respect and appreciation) and we are proud to see them in action through the way members of the Beech Hill community conduct themselves.
You can find all the latest information by exploring our website and please feel free to contact our school office or email [email protected] for any further information you may need. We look forward to welcoming you and your children to our school.
