About Us Harris Academy Beulah Hill is an extremely popular 11-19 academy.
We deliver a broad and challenging curriculum to all our students in a calm and well-ordered environment.
We have high expectations of all members of the school community.
This is reflected in our consistently high student performance at GCSE, progression to post 16 study at our sixth form and then on to some of the best universities in the country.
Beulah Hill is a wonderful place to learn and teach.
We have a very hardworking team of teachers and support staff; they provide a caring and welcoming atmosphere for our students.
Beulah Hill is a huge site with close to 8 acres of school buildings, sports halls, gymnasium, tennis courts and large playing fields / athletic track thus providing excellent facilities for our students.
The academy also has full-time basketball and football coaches through its partnership with Greenhouse and Kinetic.
We have recently invested over £1 million to further improve our outstanding facilities including the development of a state-of-the-art Design Technology room equipped with laser cuter and 3D Printers, Food room and a newly laid sports field to ensure all year-round sporting opportunities.
The Academy has a limit of 800 places across Year 7-11.
We are unlike other schools; we do not want to expand at this moment in time, in fact we wish to remain small for as long as possible This will ensure a small school where each child is known to staff and a caring environment can be provided.
Beulah Hill is traditional in our approach to discipline and uniform, yet forward-thinking and at the cutting edge of curriculum development, learning and pedagogy.
The Academy aims to develop the whole child.
We have a real focus on progress and attainment, yet ensure students develop their cultural awareness.
We have a breadth of extra-curricular activities including Drama, Creative writing, Chess, Food and Art Clubs alongside support and extension in traditional subjects.
We are proud of our Campus; we are proud of our students and proud of the education that they receive.
