Safeguarding at The New Beacon
At The New Beacon we are committed to keeping our pupils safe. We aim to provide a safe and secure environment for all our pupils and promote values of mutual respect. We want our students to feel able to discuss their concerns with a member of staff they can trust. If you wish to do so you can contact your child’s form teacher, Head of Section or the Designated Safeguarding Lead, Kate Spoor (Pastoral Deputy Head).

Inspection Reports
The New Beacon is committed to maintaining the highest standards of education, pastoral care, and governance. Our school undergoes regular inspections by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI), which evaluates both educational and welfare provisions, including boarding and Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) settings. These comprehensive inspections take place every six years, with more frequent reviews for boarding and EYFS every three years. Additionally, Ofsted may conduct inspections as required. Our Board of Governors also plays a crucial role in ensuring that school operations, academic standards, and financial stability are consistently upheld.
