Our Values, mission and ethos

The Beaulieu community places faith at the centre of our School. Faith is the “good news” that Jesus taught us, and the Gospel values lived and shared in assemblies and RE lessons, help us navigate social, moral and spiritual issues and are central to Beaulieu’s mission and our four core values.

Beaulieu is a Catholic school providing an excellent education in a caring, Christian environment. The ethos of the School, based on Gospel values, encourages every member of the School community to strive for excellence.

Students are encouraged to work collaboratively, to believe in hard work and service to others, to see and seek out the good in each other, to respect and protect our common home, the environment. They are respected and respect others, learning that equality in diversity, which celebrates difference and creates unity, enables each of them to grow at their own rate. They are encouraged to develop their talents academically, creatively, culturally and spiritually and to grow into happy, emotionally mature, resilient adults.

Educating students to develop their gifts and personal attributes to the full is seen in Beaulieu as an act of love. It is a way of helping who live in our Beaulieu community to be equipped for life in this world in such a way that they will make this world a better place through love, live happily with a deep-seated joy that cannot be shaken by anything that life throws at them and, slowly, over the course of a lifetime, become the saint they were always called to be.

Our mission

Beaulieu is a nurturing educational community, rooted in the charism of the Founding Order of the Sisters of the Immaculate Conception: toute de charité (entirely in love). Welcoming and valuing in their uniqueness, this Catholic school offers them a Christian environment full of opportunities to develop their talents and character, and equipping them for their adventure in this world to live lives of love and service.

Faith at our core

Our faith in the gospel values of love and service, justice and equality, our belief in the innate dignity of each person, the unique place that each one occupies, shape the education we provide. These core values are expressed in four key ‘dynamics’:

Opportunity

Our students achieve excellent academic results, but this is not our sole focus. We provide a wealth of opportunities and expect our students to embrace them. Lifelong friendships, love of learning, a passion for innovation and technology and a commitment to service, mean our students are ready for the world and eager to make a difference.

Respect

At Beaulieu, we promote respect for the School, its community and our wider society. We acknowledge diversity and are kind and welcoming to those around us.

Endeavour

We encourage our students to put everything into every task. We know that we are better when we work together. We look beyond the curriculum to develop a wide range of skills and talents that constantly surprise and delight teachers, parents, the community and even the students themselves.

Challenge

A Beaulieu student is on a journey to adulthood. We challenge our students to be the very best they can be and encourage them to find their own voice and to question injustice and push for the highest standards.

Our history
