Scholarships at The Beacon 2024!

We extend our heartfelt best wishes to all our Beacon leavers as they embark on their next big adventure this September at a range of prestigious senior schools including Dr Challoner’s, Berkhamsted, Merchant Taylors’ and Harrow.

Another year of Beacon boys in high spirits having been awarded impressive scholarships and exhibitions at top independent schools nationwide. This year our boys were thrilled to receive Academic, Sports, Drama, and Art Scholarships and Exhibitions. This is true testament to their  achievements throughout their journey at The Beacon. Suffice it to say, the tradition of excellence and success at The Beacon continues to be outstanding year after year.

Headmaster Nick Baker says,

“It gives me great pleasure to congratulate our leavers this year; the culmination years of hard work and achievement, capped off with the self-satisfaction of a job well done.   A ‘preparatory’ school is exactly that; it prepares children for senior school and judging by the output from this exit group and those before them, Beacon boys have an ingrained work ethic and intellectual curiosity that will stand them in excellent stead for the years ahead.  As always, our boys across Years 6 and 8 feed a variety of senior schools.  We don’t channel boys into one particular school or exit point, our aim here is to provide options and choice; from the range of schools listed in our Exit Group 2024, it represents a typical Beacon year perfectly.  Well done, boys and keep in touch…they’ll always be a bit of Beacon in you as you go through your future senior school and employment careers.”

Our Upper School boys engage in our ‘Shining Future Programme’ which is designed to prepare our boys for life after The Beacon and beyond. This comprehensive programme covers entrance exam preparation, life skills development, expert support and advice in deciding upon and preparing for the best next step for each individual. The programme aims to help our boys realise their academic potential, gain independence, build confidence, and develop the skills necessary to thrive in the future.

Simon Detre (Senior Deputy Head) says, “We are proud of our boys’ achievements during their final years at The Beacon and are confident they will continue to excel in their future endeavors. We wish you all the best for the future… keep in touch, Beaconians!”
