The BSA has hosted a new, fund-raising Summer Event for the school, featuring The Battle of the Bands. Our caterers, Chartwells, provided the barbeque and there was a variety of fun and games for all those attending – including a demonstration of fencing!
Congratulations to the Year 10 band, Supermarket Sushi who won the audience vote and were crowned the winners.
Thank You to all the BSA members who made this fantastic event possible.

📢 Beaumont Speaks: Meet our new Student Parliament! 🎉

Beaumont students (with a lot of help from parents and carers!) have outdone themselves in this year’s charity Inter-House Bake-Off, raising £1179 for The Ollie Foundation and Save The Children UK.
Here are just some of the spectacular entries …
We are very pleased to announce that we have been awarded the Eco-SchoolGreen Award, with Distinction, for our sustainability work in 23/24. The assessors were very impressed and mentioned that Beaumont’s application truly stood out and it is evident that young people at Beaumont are aware of environmental issues and passionate about protecting our planet. Please see our webpage for all of the activities that have taken place over the last few years.
So far this term the Sustainability Club lunchtime club has collected tree saplings and acorns to pot out when ready, and help further improve biodiversity within our school grounds. This is working towards our #30by30 school target of having rewilded 30% of our school grounds by 2030. We have also collected recyclable materials to take part in a Biocraft competition for Biology Week, run by the Royal Society of Biology, to build a biology-themed piece of art out of waste materials, and we have recently pledged to take part in UCL’s Ocean Health Challenge, aimed to develop our students creativity and problem-solving skills by designing a solution to stop plastics entering the ocean. Watch this space to see how we do!
On Tuesday 24th September, Beaumont hosted an event to raise funds for the amazing local charity YouthTalk, who provide mental health support to young people between 13 and 25. Henry Fraser, whose story inspired the new and successful musical The Little Big Things, supported the charity with a live Q&A where the audience were treated to his thoughtful and uplifting outlook on life. Henry was a talented young rugby player at 17, when he suffered a life changing accident, which left him with no movement below his neck. From this moment on, he has captured the imagination, admiration and awe of everyone he encounters, through his two books, his incredible paintings which have been widely exhibited, and his motivational speaking. It was a wonderful evening which everyone in the audience felt privileged to be able to attend.
Today, Year 13 students proudly launched Beaumont Speaks to Year 7, introducing the creation of Beaumont’s first-ever Student Parliament!
This exciting initiative will provide further opportunities for student leadership and ensure that student voice is at the heart of what we do.
