Beechwood is a co-educational independent school for boys and girls aged 3 - 11, which comprises a Nursery, Preparatory School and Senior School, with boarding for girls aged 11 - 18. Founded by the Sisters of the Sacred Heart in 1915, Beechwood retains its Catholic tradition, but today welcomes pupils of all faiths.

In today’s world, many institutions seem large and impersonal; by contrast, at Beechwood, we are proud of our caring family atmosphere, where every pupil is known and valued. Our friendly staff and pupils show mutual respect and consideration for each other, and pupils can be assured of the support and guidance they need.
 

In our small classes, teachers stimulate pupils to excel in what they are good at and build confidence in areas they find difficult, from the youngest child in the Preparatory School through to our oldest Senior School girls. Our academic record is strong: Beechwood is one of the most successful schools in the county at A-level and in value-added measurements at GCSE.

Beechwood pupils benefit from a broad curriculum which is aimed at enriching their experience beyond examination requirements.  Our website provides details of a wide range of activities and outings designed to enhance and expand our pupils' education and cultural values.

We warmly invite you to visit us to see for yourself what we are able to offer.
