Nestled in 75 acres of picturesque woodlands and playing fields on the Surrey and Berkshire border, St John’s Beaumont Preparatory School stands as a beacon of educational excellence.

Nurturing Young Minds: The St John’s Beaumont Nursery

The journey begins at the St John’s Beaumont Nursery, a nurturing and stimulating environment for children from the age of 3. Here, children embark on their educational adventure, developing essential social, emotional, and cognitive skills. The Nursery’s curriculum, which includes drama, music, swimming and forest school, encourages curiosity and exploration.

St John’s has recently introduced morning-only sessions for Nursery, offering greater flexibility for families. This option allows children to enjoy all the benefits of the Nursery’s exceptional early years education, without the extended day, perfect for those transitioning to school or looking for more flexible childcare arrangements.

We Secure Your Child’s Future…

St John’s Beaumont boasts a remarkable history of excellence in education. Our pupils and staff are dedicated to pursuing excellence in life and learning through a rich curriculum, diverse co-curricular activities, exceptional pastoral care, and a strong commitment to serving others. This holistic approach shapes well-rounded individuals who embody competence, conscience, compassion, and commitment, preparing them for success at the most competitive senior schools.

Compassion, Resilience, Confidence

Our pupils strive to go above and beyond. They grow their strengths and pursue new interests. There is no limit to what they can achieve.

At every step, the school nurtures pupils to be compassionate and resilient. This ethos develops confident young people who graduate from Year 8 ready to thrive at prestigious destination schools such as Wellington, Eton, Harrow, Winchester and Charterhouse.

Universal Values

Every pupil at St John’s Beaumont is cared for; their personal qualities valued and nurtured in the school community. Our curriculum extends beyond traditional academics to give opportunities for children to practise the actions that underpin our values. We believe that all of our pupils are innately compassionate and resilient, so our teachers guide them to express this through acts of kindness, community service projects and a rich curriculum full of new perspectives.

High Performance Learners

Teaching, both within and beyond the classroom is underpinned by High Performance Learning (HPL); a teaching philosophy that instils in pupils the cognitive abilities to become excellent learners. HPL embraces the mindset that everyone can become a high performer.

Our pupils are equipped to overcome life’s challenges and seize the boundless possibilities the world offers. They leave St John’s Beaumont with a growth mindset, ready to become the leaders of tomorrow.
