    Sue Hearle - Headteacher

    I am very proud to be the Headteacher of such a superb school.

    My role is to ensure that our school community is happy and everyone in the community feels supported and appreciated and that the school maintains the highest standards of education for your child.

    I am very well-supported in my role by teaching and support staff who have children at the heart of every decision they make. My regular learning walks around the school allow me the opportunity to see great teaching in action. Our students are focused, engaged and ready for the challenges that learning at The Henry Beaufort School brings. I meet on a regular basis with students to hear their views on the school and how we can make it an even better place to learn and provide enriching opportunities. They talk to me about the ambition they feel for themselves as well as how that ambition is supported by their teachers and tutors and Heads of Year. The community atmosphere of the school is very important to us all, and it is one of the reasons that we operate a vertical tutoring programme, allowing students of all ages to work together in a structured pastoral environment.

    In addition to my main role and my teaching commitment, I also work with colleagues in the following capacities:

    • Mrs Scott - Senior Deputy Headteacher
    • Miss Shelton – Acting Deputy Headteacher
    • Mr Applin – Acting Deputy Headteacher
    • Miss Colebourn - Senior Teacher 
    • Mrs Briggs -  Senior Teacher
    • Ms Caplin – Bursar
     

     

    Joanna Scott - Senior Deputy Headteacher

I believe that if you build strong relationships with students, challenge them appropriately and give them high quality feedback they will be able to achieve their best. I want all of the students at The Henry Beaufort School to be self-assured, mature and ambitious young people who are ready for the next exciting stage in their lives.
