Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is an outstanding school.

Students make excellent progress from average starting points in English and mathematics. They make equally good progress across other subjects and attain high standards overall. Students' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is exceptional.

They are caring, hard-working and well-adjusted young people with a strong respect for British democracy. Teaching is outstanding. Teachers know their subjects extremely well and help students to gain knowledge quickly and then use it skilfully and confidently in all their work.

Teachers make very thorough use of information about what students know and can do when plann...ing their teaching; consequently, students of all abilities do well. Students are given very demanding targets. Teachers carefully check their progress towards these targets and provide highly effective support to help them achieve their best.

Teachers mark work thoroughly and provide helpful guidance to all students. In just a few instances, teachers do not check that all students are using the advice they are given. Students' behaviour is exemplary.

They develop excellent attitudes to learning and feel safe and cared for. They are proud members of a school community they regard as their 'family.' The headteacher is a determined and capable leader who has set very high expectations for all students.

Aided by a highly effective leadership team, he has secured the overwhelming support of staff, students and parents for his vision. Leaders know their school exceptionally well, especially the quality of teaching. They have brought about significant improvements to teaching and achievement in recent years.

The outstanding curriculum contributes very well to students' excellent achievement and attitudes to learning. Students study a demanding range of subjects and this supports their exceptional progress. Governors are highly-effective and closely involved in the work of the school.

They have an accurate view of the school's performance, set challenging targets for leaders and rigorously monitor the impact of improvement work. The sixth form is good. Leaders have taken decisive action to improve students' achievement since the previous inspection.

Students are now well-prepared for the next stage of their education.

Information about this school

Beauchamps High School is an above-average-sized secondary school. The school operates within an area which is also served by six grammar schools.

The vast majority of students are of White British heritage. The pupil premium (additional government funding for disadvantaged students) provides support for a fifth of the students at the school. This is below the national average.

The proportion of disabled students and those who have special educational need supported through school action is one in 20. This is below the national average. The proportion supported through school action plus or a statement is one in 10.

This is above the national average. Seven students attend part-time provision off-site at Circles Farm and South Essex College, where they study a range of work-oriented practical courses. The school meets the government's current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for the students' attainment and progress.
