We are proud to be leading Beal High School working alongside colleagues, parents and carers to ensure that our students benefit from a breadth of curriculum opportunities to learn and thrive as members of both our campus and local communities. We engender a positive learning environment where young people can aspire, be challenged and excel in an atmosphere of safety and purpose.

‘Brown Girl Like Me’

We had the privilege of meeting Jaspreet Kaur, a former Beal student, who inspired us to embrace being a young Asian girl in British society. During her visit, Channel 4 News came to interview us where Jaspreet spoke about, and read some poems from her new book ‘Brown Girl Like Me’. We discussed the stereotypes of being a brown British girl, and how we could put an end to these assumptions, coming together as a community. We felt empowered by Jaspreet and inspired to embrace our ethnic backgrounds.
