Beechwood School is a co-educational secondary school located in the Britwell area of Slough and was established in 1982 when the former Haymill and Warren Field Secondary schools merged on the Warren Field site. The current school was built under the Private Finance Initiative (PFI) scheme and completed in 2007. Students and staff are proud of the large and extensive facility the school operates in.

In October 2016 Beechwood School and Herschel Grammar School joined together as founding partners of The Schelwood Multi-Academy Trust. Our Trust is an exciting and innovative partnership of two co-educational secondary schools - Herschel Grammar is a selective school and Beechwood a community school both founding partners.

At both schools our aim is for our students to have a great and memorable educational experience via access to a curriculum that supports outstanding learning, development and achievement in both academia and personal development. Our school communities are diverse academically, socially, culturally indeed in every dimension and we celebrate this.

All staff, students, governors, trustees and members share a commitment to the values and ethos of the Trust and this ensures we put our young people at the very heart of every decision that is made. We ensure that our young people develop the skills, qualities and attributes to enable them to pursue and enjoy successful and fulfilling lives, both professionally and personally. Our young people’s happiness and success is what drives us.

We are committed to providing equality of opportunity and to ensure that all members of the Trust school community experience an ethos of fairness, justice and dignity.

We recognise, welcome and respect diversity.

Beechwood's Mission Statement

To provide an exceptional educational experience for all, where potential is nurtured and responsible citizens created.

Everything that we do will be built around three values: Kindness, Respect and Excellence .  Our expectations as a school are high because we know the potential each of our students has.  If they make themselves proud and our parents are proud of their achievements, then we have done our job.

Our mission is to provide an exceptional educational experience for all, where potential is nurtured and responsible citizens created.  Across the school we strive to embody this in every aspect of each student's educational journey.

Every moment is a learning moment :  from Year 7 to Year 13; from the moment students arrive in the morning, until the moment they leave at the end of the day.  Ultimately preparing our students to lead successful and fulfilling lives beyond the Beechwood School community.
