Events

This page records some of the activities which take place at Beaumont over a typical year

August

“Mission Transition” Summer School

Each year, a team of dedicated staff runs a Summer School to help smooth the transition of students from primary to secondary education.

September

Welcome to Year 7

We welcome our new Year 7 students to Beaumont with a dedicated Pastoral Day to help them get to know the school a bit better. There is also the Year 7 panoramic photograph.

Year 7 “Fun Run”

We celebrate 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 complete the course and they represent Beaumont in the local area “Mob Race” later in the term.

Welcome to Year 7 Barbecue

Year 7 families get together to make new friends at the annual barbecue hosted by the Beaumont School Association (BSA). While the Year 7 students can make use of the all-weather pitches, their parents get to know each other over a top quality burger and a drink (or two …).

The event raises money to support students learning, welfare and wider participation in school.

Key Stage 4 Drama production

Duke of Edinburgh Award – Bronze Expedition

October

The Great Beaumont Inter-House Bake-Off

The Great Beaumont Inter-House Bake-Off has been one of the highlights of the House competition for several years. Students (with some help from home!) bake cakes based on their House names and colours. House points are awarded for the winning entries, judged by the Headteacher and members of the Art and the Technology Departments; and all entries are sold off to raise money for the school and for charities too.

Year 9 French exchange to Versailles

Year 9 German exchange to Speyer

November

Sixth Form Drama production

December

Staff & Sixth Form Christmas Jumper Day

Each year, members of staff and Sixth Form students wear their Christmas Jumpers to raise money for the homeless charity Shelter.

January

Big Band Concert

Each year, the Beaumont Big Band performs an evening concert to showcase their repertoire. This year, it was the 10th anniversary of this highly popular event and a sell-out audience was treated to a range of classics and favourites. Several alumni took part in the celebrations which raised money for the planned new Beaumont Arts Centre. Thanks go to the BSA who ran the catering and bar at this very successful fundraising event.

February

Music Tour to Paris: 15-19.2.19

The Music Department took 63 students from Years 8-13 on a five day tour to Paris, during February Half Term. They performed three concerts; a sacred concert at L’églaise de la Madeleine in central Paris, a short set on the Videopolis stage at Disneyland Paris, and an extended concert at the Chapel of the Charles Foix Hospital, on the outskirts of Paris. As well as performing, the students enjoyed a boat trip on the Seine, at day at Disneyland, as well as sightseeing on the final day.

March

Whole School Production – Grimm Tales: 7-9.3.19

This year’s whole school production was the imaginative version of ‘Grimm Tales’ written by Philip Pullman. Full of deliciously dark twists and turns, the Tales came to life through a bunch of players waiting backstage for their performance. Using ropes, hat stands, umbrella’s and brooms the bright and magical cast performed familiar favourites – Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel and Hansel & Gretel – and some unexpected ones too, such as Hans-My-Hedgehog, Thousandfurs and The Donkey Cabbage. There was live modern music to add a twist to the stories; twinkly lights and much, much laughter from all.

April

Year 10, 12 & 13 Spanish Exchange

Public Speaking Competition Final

Each year, all students in Years 7 to 11 prepare a speech to present to their English class on a topic of their choice. From these, winners proceed to Year Group and then a whole school public speaking final.

May 2019

Year 13 “Leavers Day”

Each year, we mark the end of Year 13 lessons with a celebration assembly, during which awards are presented and there are musical performances from the students. The “dress code” for the day marks the celebratory spirit of the event …

Year 11 ‘Graduation Ceremony’

In 2019, we introduced a Graduation Ceremony to mark the end of Year 11 for the cohort of students. Parents were invited to an event, hosted by Ms Wilson (Head of Year 11), with speeches were made by Mr Atkinson, the Form Tutors and representatives from each Tutor Group. Students also provided musical performances during the prestigious event.

Sixth Form “University Challenge”

Each year, teams of Year 12 & 13 students compete in Beaumont’s version of University Challenge, with Heads of Year taking the role of quiz-master, posing questions set by members of staff across a range of disciplines.

June

‘A’ level Art & Photography Exhibition

The images below are just a sample of the amazing artworks on display in this year’s ‘A’ level Art & Photography Exhibition, which encompassed art across a range of media.

Rob’s Festival

Rob’s Festival is an annual charity event led by students and the BSA to raise money for the school and the Prince’s Trust. Read more about the background to this event here.

Year 7 Drama Club performance

This year’s Year 7 Drama club performance was a production of Disney’s Toy Story. The piece was developed and co-directed by Sixth Form and Year 10 Drama Captains.
