The Henry Beaufort School recently hosted a vibrant and engaging Cultural Capital Day, where students participated in a variety of activities connected to their curriculum. The event enriched their classroom learning and allowed them to complete several hbX experiences.
We are very excited here at The Henry Beaufort School as the first Phase One classrooms in our newly refurbished Science Block are now finished and ready for staff and students to use.
The Theatre Royal Winchester set the stage for an unforgettable experience as students from The Henry Beaufort School (HB) performed the musical ‘Everybody’s Talking About Jamie’- Teen Edition.
The production tells the heartfelt story of Jamie New, a 16 year old who rises above prejudice to embrace his true self and step into the spotlight. Themes of self-acceptance, resilience, and the strength of community echoed through the performance, aligning perfectly with HB’s core values of Pride, Happiness, and Ambition.
The Henry Beaufort School is delighted to celebrate the remarkable sporting journey of former student Albert Mildenhall, who recently played for Harlequins.
Congratulations to our 2 Rock to the Beat bands who performed brilliantly for their parents on 12th December 2024.
Merry Christmas from Resonate Choir, please enjoy listening to Winter Wonderland.

The Henry Beaufort school joined 12 other schools from across Hampshire to compete against each other in the QinetiQ Schools’ Powerboat Challenge. Our team of 5 engineering students designed and built a remote-control powerboat, which was put to the test at QinetiQ’s Ocean basin facility at Haslar, Gosport; the biggest testing tank of its type in the world. The engineering and problem-solving skills of our engineers were put to the test as we faced multiple issues throughout the day during races. Each race highlighted a new issue, but our engineers worked to overcome each one, showing great resilience. Because of this never giving up attitude, our students walked away with an award for perseverance, something to be incredibly proud of.

On Tuesday 10th December, our Year 9 top set Mathematicians had the opportunity to take part in the online Merry Mathsmas Show. This was hosted by Zoe Griffiths from ‘Think Maths’ who runs online sessions for groups of students that are interactive, engaging and cover mathematical content which will grab the attention of students and inspire them to get excited about maths.
On Tuesday 5th November, the Maths Department were able to take 15 Top Set Year 10 Mathematicians to the Maths Inspiration Show held at the Theatre Royal in Portsmouth. The show was the chance for the students see real life applications of maths and participate in some fun, interactive audience quizzes. They heard from some of the most inspiring and creative speakers who have a love of communicating maths in exciting and original ways.
Three guest speakers gave talks about:
Statistics and Misleading Data, how this can lead to some advertisers and newspapers using statistical data in dishonest ways.
The World of Computer Game Designers and the issues around the use of maps for gamers.
And finally, we heard about getting things wrong in maths and the ‘Theory of Intuition’ which can often lead us to make incorrect assumptions about the answer to simple mathematical problems.
The students all said the show was a great success with many talking about their theories to what they had learnt on the journey home.
All of the students were outstanding and a credit to The Henry Beaufort School.
