Beechwood

Beechwood is the Preparatory Department of ECJS; it caters for the needs of boys and girls from 7 to 11 years. It is a busy, happy school full of active children who are given every opportunity to achieve all of which they are capable.

The pastoral system within the school supports each pupil as he or she moves from Year 3 to Year 6. Every member of staff supports and nurtures the children. Class councils and a School Council have been formed to allow pupils opportunities to discuss ideas.

Excellent facilities provide all children with a good learning environment. The ICT provision within the school is of a high specification. The school is fully networked with a 21 PC Computer Room, Interactive Smart boards in each teaching room and its own link to the Guernsey Integrated Learning Environment (GILE). Safe access to the World Wide Web adds to the resources available for the pupils’ experience.

Beechwood pupils have a friendly, open nature; they are happy and feel secure and develop into ‘rounded’ citizens.

Both Music and Physical Education play an important part of Beechwood life. There is a wide range of musical activities with concerts, special services and a whole-school production held throughout the year.

The pupils participate in a wide variety of sporting activities. Teams play matches against local and off Island schools achieving a good level of success.

The pupils are very proud of their school and would be pleased to accompany you on a tour.

Mrs Suzanne Battey is Head of Beechwood as well as being the Headteacher of ECJS. Mrs Battey has taught for 35 years in a variety of schools through the age range 7-18 years.
