Headteacher's Welcome

On behalf of everyone at Beam County Primary School, I am pleased to present this website to you. It will give you an insight into what we can offer you and your child. Whilst the website cannot replace direct personal contact between school and home, it is hoped that it will act as a foundation for good relationships between us.  I hope that you enjoy your visit to our website.

We are an aspirational school with the highest expectations and ambition for all our pupils. We are a friendly and exciting learning community that nurtures high attainment and ongoing success for all.

Parents and carers are the most important influence in their children’s lives and it is they who ensure children come to school with the right attitude to learn. We aim to develop a close partnership with you so that every child in our care has the best possible chance of social and academic success.

At Beam our mission statement is to Create a Lifelong Love of Learning.

Striving, Inspiration and Community are central to the life of our school in fulfilling its purpose and these values inform our practice.

We aim to enable every child in our school to reach their full potential by delivering an engaging and challenging curriculum that we review regularly to ensure that it meets the needs of our children. 

At Beam, you will be part of a school that promotes the expectation of success in diverse ways. Children contribute positively to the school community and beyond, and more importantly, they enjoy their time here.

Our Key Events for Parents Page gives parents and carers an idea of just some of the activities our whole school community has planned every term – we hope to see as many parents as possible.  Our parent survey results are available here:

You will find the programme of events for parents and carers by pressing here.

Our Curriculum is rich in the delivery of basic skills and the mastery and application of knowledge. We are blessed with a large, stunning playing field, and our learning environment reflects our high emphasis on the creative arts and sports to enrich our pupils’ learning experiences.

We aim to reflect the diversity of our community through strong community cohesion. We have established links with sister schools in Ghana. Please click here to visit their website.   We also promote an understanding of citizenship and British values through school visits to central London and rural and coastal communities across the UK. Each year, our children benefit from residential visits to Wales and as a taster to Stubbers Outdoor Adventure.

We work with local theatre groups of professional actors to enhance our curriculum and the Royal Ballet for our dance provision.  Our musician-in-residence ensures that music composition, performance, and singing are essential to school life. All of our children are encouraged to learn a musical instrument.

We offer a wide selection of after-school clubs, including booster and eleven-plus classes, to ensure that all children meet their full potential.

If you require a paper copy of any information provided, please attend the school office and we will give you a copy free of charge.   

I trust that your association with the school will be a long, successful and happy one.

I look forward to you and your family joining our school community.
