What does it take to reach the pinnacle of Outstanding? Rachel Smith, Headteacher at Beaconsfield High School, explains her strategy for creating ‘exceptional’, and why its core principal is the pursuit of happiness.
It’s been quite a year for Beaconsfield High School! In 2018, we put our selective single-sex secondary state school on the map, celebrating a number of momentous achievements including being recognised as an Exceptional School (Best Practice Network), achieving Governor Mark, an exclusive recognition of a governing body’s highest standards and challenge, and completed the triple achievement by being designated as ‘Ofsted Outstanding’ in December 2019. We whole-heartedly put this level of success down to the many changes we made in our bid to create a happy environment, where each and every student could shine. |
