Say hello to our newly appointed Prefect team for the academic year 2025-26! After a rigorous selection process, they’ll now be taking on key responsibilities across the school, leading by example and showcasing the Beacon Values every day. Well done to all that applied, and congratulations to all successful applicants!

Friday evening marked a wonderful celebration—our Year 11 Prom! 
The night was filled with joy, laughter, and unforgettable memories, with plenty of dancing along the way. Our students looked incredible and carried themselves with real pride and maturity throughout the evening.

Wishing all our Year 11 pupils the very best as they move on to their next exciting chapter—you’ll be truly missed!

On Thursday, 10th July, pupils from Years 7 to 9 will take to the stage for our Summer Showcase, an exciting evening celebrating dance, music, and drama.

The performances feature original work created both during lesson time and through our extracurricular performing arts clubs. It promises to be a wonderful display of talent and creativity, and we would be delighted to see you there.

The event will take place in the Barr Beacon School Hall, with doors opening at 5:45pm and the performance starting promptly at 6:00pm.

Tickets are free, but must be reserved in advance via our Eventbrite link. https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/performing-arts-summer-showcase-tickets-1407475409839?aff=oddtdtcreator

We look forward to welcoming you for an unforgettable evening of entertainment!

This weekend our Gold Duke of Edinburgh students are heading out on their assessed expedition in Dartmoor.  Saturday was their acclimatisation day and finished off with a lovely meal to fill them up for the next 4 days.  Whilst it looked like Sunday may be a little too hot, the weather turned and they’ve had a day of rain to start their journey.  All are in good spirits and showing true resilience.

As Summer approaches we want to celebrate those whose attendance has been excellent this year! With an attendance above 97% pupils are 4 times more likely to achieve to the best of their ability in core subjects and are statistically likely to be healthier, happier and enter into successful careers. We want to say a huge well done to these pupils and their families and also celebrate those who are the most improved attenders in each year group.

📸 Huge congratulations to our talented photographers!
