Our Boarding Principles  

The unique ethos at Beechen Cliff School is driven by its Core Values. Core Values recognise the qualities that we expect boys to adopt and develop during their time with us. These values underpin all that we do and are considered to be an integral part of the experience at Beechen Cliff where a safe and secure learning environment, high standards of teaching and the provision of a wide and varied range of extra-curricular opportunities all combine to develop well rounded and independent thinkers.

The Core Values at Beechen Cliff School are Aspiration, Balance, Compassion, Independence, Integrity and Respect.

Aspiration

Beechen Cliff School supports all boys, encourages them to achieve their potential and celebrates the full range of their achievements.

“Working hard and trying my best at all times, both in and beyond the classroom.”

Balance

Beechen Cliff School provides a wide range of opportunities for extra-curricular involvement and aims to develop boys, who will make a positive contribution to their community and society, i.e. develop a sense of “well roundedness”.

“Taking up a range of opportunities to develop myself, both in and beyond the school.”

Compassion

Beechen Cliff School provides a safe environment and expects mutual politeness and respect to be observed by all members of the School and Boarding community.

“Improving the lives of those around me, especially those less fortunate.”

Independence

Beechen Cliff School promotes independent thinking and encourages the development of individual responsibility and resilience.

“Organising and taking responsibility for myself.”

In addition to our Core Values, we expect boys to adopt and uphold the Core Behaviours of the School: Integrity and Respect, demonstrate British Values and honour the School’s Pledge of Respect.

Integrity
