History of Beech Hall
Beech Hall was built for a prosperous mill owner in the 19th Century, but became a school in 1926. The school buildings are sited at the top of a hill overlooking the Bollin Valley, a beautiful stretch of Cheshire countryside. The school has extensive playing fields set in the valley below, and these are reached by a long walk down steps cut into the hill (the return walk after games seems like an even longer walk!) For the teaching of games and PE we also have a heated sports hall on site and a heated swimming pool that is used in the summer months. During the winter, we swim at a local indoor pool however the outdoor pool is still used for our winter training camps!
In 2002 Beech Hall School purchased its land and buildings. Since then, there has been investment in new and existing facilities. A new playground has been installed and next to it an astro turf pitch. The Nursery has been relocated in what was the Headmaster’s house, whilst the senior school is accommodated in attractive classrooms in the old stable block and on Ivy Bank. Junior classes have been moved from school outbuildings into beautifully restored rooms in the main building. There have been significant improvements in ICT, Library and Drama facilities.
