ABOUT THE SCHOOL

St John’s Beaumont is a Day and Boarding Preparatory School for boys aged from 3 to 13 set within 75 acres of established woodland and playing fields adjacent to Windsor Great Park.

This is a very special place to work and to learn. Our pupils are offered every possible opportunity to excel in a wide variety of areas, both academically, but importantly also in the wider curriculum as well. St John’s naturally suits those who are open-minded, spiritual, compassionate but also importantly critical thinkers.

Founded as a Roman Catholic (Jesuit) school, our spiritually and culturally rich tradition informs the qualities we seek to nurture and develop in our pupils, who progress to a range of senior schools such as Charterhouse, Eton, Harrow, Oratory, Stonyhurst, Wellington & Windsor Boys, with many receiving scholarships.

Our beautiful school buildings were designed in 1888 by John Francis Bailey who rose to fame as the architect of Westminster Cathedral in London. The School enjoys first class facilities including a purpose-built sports centre, indoor and outdoor cricket nets, floodlit tennis courts, a golf putting green and driving range, an indoor swimming pool and over 50 acres of playing fields. St John’s enjoys a strong reputation for sport, with a strong rugby and swimming tradition, as well as cricket, football, golf, and rowing; as well as music and the performing arts.
