St John’s Beaumont School is a co-educational preparatory school for boys and girls aged three to thirteen, offering a distinctive blend of tradition and innovation. Set within 70 acres on the edge of Windsor Great Park, our independent school provides an inspiring environment where curiosity, confidence, and character flourish. From our Nursery and Early Years through to Year 8, pupils benefit from small class sizes, specialist teaching, and outstanding facilities including forest trails, an indoor swimming pool, climbing wall, and floodlit courts.

As a private school with over 135 years of excellence, we are proud to prepare children for leading senior schools such as Eton, Harrow, Wellington, and Winchester. Our approach combines strong academic foundations with High Performance Learning, ensuring every child develops the resilience, compassion, and leadership skills needed for life beyond the classroom. With both day and boarding options, St John’s Beaumont offers a caring, inclusive community where every child feels supported to achieve their full potential.

History of the School

St John’s Beaumont is undergoing a transformational period in its history. Having been purchased by Intellego Education Partners UK Ltd in July 2025, the School is embarking on a large Capital Expenditure Programme.

The plans for St John’s Beaumont were drawn up by the famous Architect, J F Bentley, who later went on to design Westminster Cathedral. Unlike so many preparatory schools, it was purpose-built, originally for 60 boarders, and was opened in 1888. Its name is taken from St John Berchmans, a young Jesuit who was canonised in that year. St John’s Beaumont was opened and operated as the junior school for the college called Beaumont College (where Beaumont House Hotel, part of the Principal Hayley Group, is now housed) until Beaumont College amalgamated with Stonyhurst College and moved north in 1967.

The School is a member of IAPS (Independent Association of Preparatory Schools), ISIS (Independent Schools Information Service) and the CISC (Catholic Independent Schools’ Conference).

Location and Facilities  

The School is located in Old Windsor close to Windsor Great Park and is set in 70 acres of grounds, surrounded by fields. Although only 35 minutes from London the School offers an educational experience far removed from the constraints of central London. The School enjoys excellent facilities, which includes:

• The Dermot Gogarty Sports Centre (built in 2009) which consists of a fully equipped sports hall, fitness suite (available to staff each evening), climbing wall, cricket nets.
• An indoor, heated 25m swimming pool
• 4 flood-lit all-weather tennis courts
• The Hoy Theatre
• Art Studio
• Music School
• A separate modern and well equipped Pre-Prep (the Nicholas Owen Block)
• A very well stocked, modern Library at the heart of the School
• State of the art ICT facilities with networked provision across the school and a dedicated ICT suite
• 50 acres of sports fields for rugby, football, athletics, cricket  and cricket nets.

The Boarding Houses

St John’s was built as a boarding school for 60 pupils and continues to have capacity for 60 pupils in the Boarding House. The senior dormitory is called ‘Southwell’ and the junior dormitory is called ‘Morse’. Boarding at a Prep School should be a memorable and special experience, and this is certainly the case at St John’s where the boarders are an important part of life at St John’s. They are looked after by our Head of Boarding, Dormitory Master and a team of Matrons and Assistant Teachers. Many of our boarders live either in the immediate local area or within 25 miles of St John’s, although we also have a number of pupils from overseas. Around half of our boarders are full boarders.

Classes/Tutors The pastoral development of children up to Year 5 is promoted more successfully through a class teacher structure. It is important that pupils experience consistency and continuity in the relationships that they build with their teachers and the expectations set upon them. This is why at St John’s we maintain this essential element up to Year 5 where class teachers are responsible for teaching their classes for the majority of time. In addition to this teaching, pupils receive specialist teaching in Music, Sport, Art, Drama, French and some Humanities subjects. For pupils in Years 6 to 8 the demands of the curriculum require that lessons are taught by staff who specialise in their chosen subject. Children are therefore supported pastorally through a personal tutor programme whereby pupils meet twice weekly with their tutors on a regular basis to offer pastoral support and guidance.

Curriculum  Early age children are taught by a range of teachers to support their ability to interact confidently with different adults.  Additional subjects are introduced at important stages to offer breadth and stimulation to their learning.  It is important to recognise that children come to us with a range of abilities and talents and an important role of our curriculum is to recognise and support these talents. The curriculum at St John’s Beaumont is designed to achieve a sound intellectual basis in the context of fostering all-round human excellence.

Extra-Curricular Activities

The extra-curricular programme at St John’s Beaumont is an essential part of the all-round education we provide to our pupils. After School care can be provided for the Nicholas Owen Block children.  The importance of this programme is emphasised by the fact that it is an optional element that can be pursued outside of the normal school day and curriculum.  By allowing pupils to make their own choices we can encourage them to pursue interests in which they excel, as well as those that interest them.  However, it is through encouraging the pupils to choose activities that might initially present a particular challenge that we can bring about the greatest change in their resilience and open-mindedness. The wide range of activities on offer for pupils of all ages are carefully chosen for their breadth and challenge. Every area of interest is represented, from the visual and expressive arts through to sport and science and there really is something for everyone! Current Activities include: Tennis, Football , Gymnastics, Judo, Art, Choir, Orchestra, Lego, Self Defence, Puzzle Club, Jolf (Junior Golf), Mandarin, Construction Club, Ball Skills, Board Games, Kick Boxing, Current Affairs, Chess, Junior Choir, Computer Coding, Practical Science, Bug Club, Ultimate Frisbee, Cycling, Weight Training, Cricket, Polo, Board Games, Drama, Debating, Aerobic Training, English Club, Practical Science, Water Polo, Fencing, Rowing, Maths Scholars, Skiing, Cricket Nets, Classical Civilisation.

Child Protection Policy

St John’s Beaumont is committed to ensuring the safety of its pupils and as such any successful candidate will be subject to an enhanced check (including Barred List check) by the (DBS) Disclosing and Barring Service.

The Governing Council and Staff of St John’s Beaumont School take seriously their responsibility under section 175 of the Education Act 2002 to safeguard and promote the welfare of Children; and to work together with other agencies to ensure adequate arrangements within the School to identify, assess, and support those Children who are suffering harm.  We recognise that all adults, including temporary Staff, volunteers and governors, have a full and active part to play in protecting our pupils from harm, and that the Child’s welfare is our paramount concern.
