Keep it going, attendance matters!

We are delighted to announce the launch of our new Beacon School Wellbeing Website, which is now live and available to all members of our school community.

This dedicated online space has been designed to support the mental health and wellbeing of our students and families. It provides a range of carefully selected resources, including guidance on supporting young people, advice on managing wellbeing at home, and links to external services for further support.

You will find sections tailored to different needs, including:

Practical strategies to support emotional wellbeing
Information on common challenges faced by young people
Signposting to trusted organisations and support services
Advice for parents and carers
We strongly encourage you to explore the website and make use of the resources available. Supporting young people’s wellbeing is a partnership, and we hope this platform will be a valuable tool for families as well as students.

You can access the website here

If you have any questions or require further support, please do not hesitate to contact the school.

Our year 10 students enjoyed a magical day out at Harry Potter Studios last week. They were able to study how graphic design was used in the production of the film, before enjoying a tour of the studios.

Attendance matters!

Rising Mathematician Festival at the University of Southampton

On June 9, 2026, a group of Year 7 students attended the Axiom Maths Rising Mathematician Festival at the University of Southampton. The event brought together enthusiastic and high-achieving young mathematicians for a day of learning, exploration, and fun.

The visit began with a guided tour of the university, where students discovered interesting facts and learned about its history. During the tour, they also took part in a lively question-and-answer session, sharing and discussing a range of fascinating mathematical facts.

Following the tour, the students attended an engaging lecture in one of the university’s lecture halls. Here, they explored how to calculate the Earth’s gravitational pull in relation to distance, gaining insight into real-world applications of mathematics. They were also introduced to the origins of black holes and the mathematics that helps scientists understand these mysterious phenomena.

Later in the day, students participated in a large “Math Circle,” where they collaborated and competed with peers from other schools to solve challenging mathematical problems. This activity encouraged teamwork, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.

Overall, the students found the day both entertaining and inspiring. The festival not only challenged them intellectually but also helped deepen their appreciation for mathematics.

The BFA are in need of stall holders for the upcoming Christmas Market this November

REMINDER: The Beacon Open Evening is on Tuesday 7th July, we look forward to welcome you all from 6pm, no booking required.
