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 and Independence.
