Statement from the Principal

Our mission is to provide specialist academic teaching that ensures access to the most prestigious universities and higher level apprenticeships for any young person from any background.

Students in Leicester City and the surrounding area have a right of access to ‘Powerful Knowledge’. According to Professor Michael Young (UCL Institute of Education), this is knowledge that is distinct from ‘common sense’, systematic and specialised. Powerful knowledge empowers students, in order to take them beyond their own experiences. Through the delivery of high quality teaching of powerful knowledge across a traditional academic curriculum, we ensure that our students’ achievements provide access to limitless future prospects.

At Beauchamp City Sixth Form we are determined to develop each individual holistically and encourage participation in a wide range of extra-curricular and supercurricular opportunities that will enable students to flourish and maximise their own talents.

As a school based in Leicester City Centre, we foster a sense of social responsibility to the local community, as well as encourage students to engage with national and international issues to support them in taking control of their future.

We work in partnership with independent schools who have traditionally had the most success in securing places at Oxford, Cambridge and other highly prestigious universities. In addition we are fully engaged with admissions tutors, both nationally and locally, working to understand how to ensure that our students have the best possible chance of continuing their education in a rich and challenging academic community. We also work in partnership with local businesses in order to bring our students unique opportunities to engage in work  experience that prepares them for their future career.

We look forward to meeting you in person so that we can share in more detail how we can prepare you for the pathway to success.
