A secondary school in Hertfordshire has been named one of the best in the country by Tatler Magazine.
Beaumont School, in St Albans, has been adjudged one of the best state schools for 2018, according to the reputable magazine that research primary and secondary schools in the UK. The Eye Of Media.Com has on occasions liaised with this magazine in merging ideas about some of the schools of interest, and also.to highlight some areas of interest to look out for
Beaumont is a very good school with high academic standards. The hard work of its teachers in instilling a high work ethic is evident in the progress made by the students. was rated outstanding by Ofsted actively works towards achieving a lifelong positive impact on all who attend the school. Creating an environment of mutual respect between staff and pupils is one of the strong points all schools need; and Beaumont school has achieved this quite comfortably.
When the Eye Of Media.Com attempted to contact the extremely motivating and inspiring principal, Mr. Moorcroft, he was at a meeting discussing even better ways of extending the achievements of the already impressive school. Ofsted described Beaumont in its 2014 inspection as outstanding, saying: “Students receive an outstanding education at Beaumont School that prepares them extremely well for their future. Beaumont is one of those UK schools with a very stimulating academic environment that motivates its pupils. One teacher off record told The Eye Of Media.Com in October 2017, that ”great leaders would one day emerge from this very positive and ambitious school”.
The school, one of those researched by The Eye Of Media.Com since 2017, has a strong, forward looking management team that prides itself on innovative ideas aimed at developing pupils beyond the statutory curriculum. It really deserves its listing among the best state schools in the UK, Beaumont staff work purposely towards creating exciting learning environments within their classrooms. Engaging all students in class discussions is one of the things the school has done very well to achieve. School staff have bespoke sessions that reflect upon and assess the effectiveness of their competent approach. Beamont school stands out as the type of school every parent would want to send their child to. There are other schools with similar qualities, but they are in the minority.
The Tatler Schools Guide 2018, presents the top 20 state secondary school in the UK also as a recommendation for parents living in areas close to any of the listed schools. The Eye Of Media.Com can confirm that at least half of the schools listed in Tatlers top 20 are of very high academic standard and also run by a well thought out approach . Among the schools highly ranked by Tatler was Alexa Chung’s alma mater and Peter Symonds College in Hampshire. Despite the school being a public one, its location in an affluent area in Solihull predisposes most of its residents to high aspirations for the future. The happy implications of its geographical location is that parents in the area will generally be able to afford good tutors to supplement the high standard education being offered by the school. It also means the school adopts a high standard policy that seeks to employ the best quality teachers they can get their hands on.
Another very good school on Tatler’s list is Arden Academy. In 2015, Ofsted also rated Arden Academy as an “outstanding” school at the heart of the community where students thrive”.The Chantry School Headteacher Andrew Dickenson said visitors to the school in Martley, Worcester “are always impressed with the courtesy and positive atmosphere in the school. We encourage our pupils to aim high, embrace challenge and develop the resilience to achieve their highest possible potential.”
