The Beaulieu Park School is not just a high-performing school; it’s a warm, caring community, where staff and students support one another to be their very best. Opened in 2018 as Essex’s first ‘all-through’ state school, we are housed in a wonderful £34 million facility and have been Outstanding in every category since our first Ofsted inspection. Our first set of GCSE results this year placed us among the top-performing non-selective schools in the county.
