After The Beacon
A Beacon For What's NextWe are proud to be partnered with leading destination schools where our pupils take the next exciting step in their educational journey, fully prepared.
Pupils typically leave at the end of Year 6 (aged 11) or Year 8 (aged 13) to embark on their next big adventure in education at local Grammar schools, or leading independent day schools and boarding schools around the country. The Beacon continues to be the largest feeder school into Dr Challoner’s Grammar School.
Our long-standing success with senior school transition, and formidable reputation of scholarships offered is a culture we are thrilled to preserve at The Beacon. In recent years, Beacon Pupils have been fortunate to receive Academic, Music, Drama, Performing Arts, Art, Design Technology and Sports scholarships at some of the most highly esteemed independent senior schools.
