Welcome from the Headmaster

I am passionate about independent education and a firm believer that exceptional schools produce exceptional people. The Beacon never stops driving forward, developing and changing our teaching and resources to meet the needs of our boys today and to prepare them for their future. We will inspire your son to do the same for himself, to cultivate initiative, raise his sights and his expectations and to remain continuously curious about the world.

The Beacon’s reputation as a School where no boy is ever overlooked and each individual is inspired to fulfil his own academic, creative and physical potential within a caring, secure and stimulating environment has been well earned since our foundation in 1933.

For genuine reviews of The Beacon, see our Good School Guide and Muddy Stilettos reviews.
