Beaumont Leys School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 7 May 2025

Beaumont Leys is a highly inclusive and nurturing school. The school has high expectations for the achievement and behaviour of pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Staff share a belief that pupils can be successful and be their best selves, whatever their starting point. Well-established routines enable pupils to meet these expectations. As a result, pupils focus on their learning and most achieve well. Pupils enjoy attending this school and feel safe. They talk with enthusiasm about school life. Older pupils speak positively about their work experience in Year 10. Pupils behave well and are respectful to adults. High-quality pastoral support is available for pupils and parents to discuss any concerns they may have. Pupils benefit from an exceptional curriculum for personal development that is both ambitious and stimulating. They develop their confidence and character through expeditions, including by undertaking fieldwork at the coast, and through additional responsibilities, such as being a school receptionist. A significant number of pupils access a wide range of extra-curricular activities, such as journaling and football clubs. Parents and carers overwhelmingly value the work that the school does to support their children. A typical comment from a parent was, 'The school is a wonderfully supportive place, where staff consistently go above and beyond to help.'

What the school should improve

• The school's published outcomes demonstrate that pupils have previously not achieved as well as they could in some subjects. As a result, some pupils have left the school at the end of Year 11 not as suitably well prepared for their next steps as they could have been. The school should ensure that pupils develop the necessary skills and knowledge to be able to achieve highly across all subjects.
