Scholarships at The Beacon 2025

The Beacon Leavers' Success

As a new academic year approaches at The Beacon, we send our best wishes to our 2024-2025 leavers who are beginning an exciting new chapter.

We are incredibly proud of the dedication and hard work of all our boys, which has been recognised through a number of esteemed scholarships and exhibitions awarded at leading independent schools across the country. These include Academic, Sports, Music, Drama, Art and DT Scholarships awarded at a range of prestigious schools such as Eton, Harrow, Berkhamsted Boys’ School, Marlborough College, Merchant Taylors’, St Edward’s and Haileybury.

Simon Detre, our Senior Deputy Head, says, “Beacon boys have an enviable track record of winning scholarships to a range of schools – including highly selective schools – and this year is no exception. Some scholarships are academic; others are in areas such as Drama, Sport, Design and Technology, Art and Music. All of them represent the culmination of a great deal of hard work and learning at a high level. Congratulations to all our scholars!”

Our Upper School boys take part in the ‘Shining Future Programme’ – a carefully crafted initiative aimed at equipping them for life beyond The Beacon. This well-rounded programme offers tailored support for entrance exam preparation, guidance in choosing the right senior school, and the development of essential life skills. It is designed to help each pupil unlock their academic potential, grow in confidence, foster independence and build the skills necessary to thrive in the future.
