Sixth Form Drama production – A Monster Calls: 11-13.11.21
A record number of Year 7 families got together to make new friends at the annual barbecue hosted by the Beaumont School Association (BSA). While the Year 7 students made use of the all-weather pitches, their parents got to know each other over a top quality burger and a drink (or two …). Over 500 attended, raising over £1800 for the school. We celebrated the end of Year 7’s first week at Beaumont with a “fun run” around the school field. The students pictured below are the first 25 girls and 25 boys who completed the course and they will represent Beaumont in the local area “Mob Race” later this term. We welcomed our new Year 7 students to Beaumont with a dedicated Pastoral Day to help them get to know the school a bit better. There was also the Year 7 panoramic photograph.September 2021

BSA Christmas Fair: 7.12.19
Each year, parents, students and staff start off the Beaumont Christmas season with the BSA Christmas Fair. This event raises money to support the school through a range of stalls and activities. As well as putting the “fun” in fundraising, the students’ stalls also earn House points for their respective Houses. This event is one of the main ways in which the BSA raises money for the school each year and it shows the Beaumont community at its best.
This year, the fair raised over £5000!
Christmas Concert: 4.12.19
The Music Department’s Christmas Concert is one of the highlights of the end of Autumn Term. The stage is a full of performers as the Hall is with eager audience members and the various ensembles perform a wide repertoire of seasonal and other music.

GCSE Presentation Evening: 19.11.19
Each year we celebrate the achievements of our former Year 11 cohort at the GCSE Presentation Evening. Students (including those who have moved on to new post-16 educational settings) get together, with their parents looking on, to receive their exam certificates in a formal ceremony. Guest speakers, usually Beaumont alumni, make the presentations and a highlight of the evening is the awarding of trophies for Outstanding Academic Achievement, Contribution to the School, Contribution to the Community and the Headteacher’s Award; the latter nominated by the students themselves. This year’s guest speaker was alumna Anshula Bain who is currently working with other alumni on projects to support refugees in Hertfordshire and across the world.
