Our Approach

At the Beacon of Light School students are at the very heart of our school.

We are passionate about embedding strong foundations and values for their future achievement and success through our core values of honesty, kindness, and respect; success supported by the high-quality teaching and learning students experience during their time with us.

We believe in the concept of lifelong learning and the idea that both adults and children continue to learn new things every day throughout the course of their lives. Recognising that every student is an individual, we celebrate this through personalised, inspiring, and authentic learning experiences which are carefully designed to nurture talent, build character, and help to shape futures.

We maintain that learning should be a rewarding and enjoyable experience for everyone. Through our teaching we aim to equip our students with the skills, knowledge and understanding necessary to be able to make informed choices about the important things in their lives. We believe that appropriate teaching and learning experiences help people to lead happy and rewarding lives.

The key focus of our curriculum provision is to enhance essential academic skills, whilst also providing students with a range of opportunities and experiences focused around personal development and wellbeing.

The curriculum at the Beacon of Light is very much about early intervention to increase levels of confidence, motivation and engagement. The Beacon of Light School encourages students to achieve Level 2 outcomes to support their pathways at post-16.
