Forms and Houses
Beaumont School has six form groups in each year using the letters of the word 'L E A R N S'. In September 2009, the school introduced a house system to run along side the form groups. Students were able to vote for the names of the Houses resulting in the following: Luther-King, Elgar, Austen, Redgrave, Newton and Seacole. Interform competitions between year group forms are encouraged and take place regularly; testing a variety of skills including sports competitions, science challenges and drama performances. This allows all pupils to demonstrate their different abilities.
