Welcome
Welcome from the Headmaster of Beechwood, Mr Aaron Lennon
|
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 pupils.
"I am extremely proud to have been appointed as Head of Beechwood Sacred Heart School. Beechwood is known for its genuine family atmosphere and tangible sense of community, where every pupil is known, supported and encouraged. I believe that young people learn effectively only when they feel happy and secure, and it is my aim as Head to ensure that we achieve this goal for all the boys and girls in our school."
"Beechwood has an excellent reputation for developing the potential in every pupil regardless of their academic starting point or ability and as Head, I will continue this work. For me, every child is important and has something to offer - it is the job of a good school to unlock potential through support, inspirational teaching, opportunities and experiences, so that all our pupils leave school with confidence, a sense of ambition and purpose."
"As Head at Beechwood, it will be my job to shape the future of the school and inspire the next generation of Beechwood pupils to achieve their very best."

Welcome from the Head of Prep, Mrs Rachel Burton
|
Here, boys and girls have the opportunity to learn and grow, in an atmosphere which allows children to enjoy childhood; the children can be themselves and make the most of their talents.
We encourage all children to have high standards both in their work and in their behaviour, treating one another with kindness and developing a respect for others. Every pupil is valued as an individual, building confidence and self-esteem.
To see for yourself what Beechwood has to offer, please do not hesitate to contact us to arrange a visit. I look forward to meeting you.

Catholic Ethos
|
We benefit from close links with the local parish of St Augustine; the Parish Priest, Father Peter Stodart, is the school's Chaplain. All the major feasts in the Christian calendar are marked by sharing in the celebration of Mass in the School's Chapel or Auditorium.
We are proud of the tradition set by the Sisters of the Society of the Sacred Heart - a tradition which can be summed up beautifully in our school prayer.
Let us pray that our school may be
Where Christ is at the heart of the community
Where every member of the community is valued
Where every pupil is known and loved
Where compassion, forbearance and forgiveness are practised
Where co-operation and consideration are preferred to competition
Where success is shared
Where there is prayer
Where the presence of Christ is celebrated

Pastoral Care
|
The older children in the Prep School are very much a part of our pastoral care. Year 6 Prefects are assigned to each class and, amongst other duties, are responsible for escorting younger children into school after they have been dropped off in the morning.
Year 5 children take part in a Playground Pals scheme, where they encourage younger children to play games and participate in group activities at playtimes.
