70 years ago today, former Beechen Cliff student Sir Roger Bannister became the first person to run a mile in under four minutes, a target that existed purely in the realms of the fantastical until, on that blustery Oxford day in 1954, he subverted the possible.

Ofsted describes Beechen Cliff’s work on mental health as ‘remarkable’. Our latest boarding Ofsted inspection report can be found on the school website. We are very pleased that our work around equalities, mental health and creating a safeguarding culture are recognised.

Despite last year’s “annus horribilis”, we are delighted that Beechen Cliff still has the confidence of so many parents. Year 7 1st choice applications are yet again significantly above the number of places available. For the Sixth Form – 340 applications for 230 places.

A few headlines. Over 75% of grades achieved at A*-C, 30% at A*/A. Ten students won places at Oxbridge or for medicine. We are very proud of all of our students and the efforts they have made.

Another really strong year for GCSE results
@BeechenCliff
. Some outstanding individual results - as one of the boys said with a wry smile "Not bad for an inadequate school, sir"! Initial indications suggest that boys' attainment ranks with the best.

School league tables do not recognise our iGCSE English qualification (the same done by top independent schools). The tables assume none of our students achieved an English GCSE! This is our actual position. For boys only - we would be close to the best - if not THE best!
