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:

• Miss Shelton – Deputy Headteacher

Andrew Applin - Deputy Headteacher Strategic Lead For Quality Of Education: Impact, External School Partnership Working

From September 2023 I am delighted to be taking on the role of Deputy Headteacher. Over the past eight years as Assistant Headteacher here I have been delighted to work with some many wonderful colleagues who have helped our young people onto their next steps in education or training.

My focus for this academic year is the smooth transition into our management information system- Arbor. We will be moving most our integrations into Arbor so making this transition is important for all stakeholders to make access to school information and documents easier.

The other area of my role will be looking at the Impact of the curriculum across the school. This involves the management and analysis of the internal data to support the overall whole school measures of progress and attainment.

I have been working at The Henry Beaufort School for four years now and have found the years to be very rewarding, overcoming the many challenges we have faced.

I have been working in Education for over 20 years, across a number of different phases, and am passionate about the many experiences and opportunities for students to develop their skills and knowledge; preparing them for their further studies and on into employment. 

My background is in financial management; however, I have a number of years’ experience in managing professional services including Human Resources, Student Welfare and Careers, I am also an ambassador for positive change and process improvement. 

My aim, here at The Henry Beaufort School, is to drive improvement in the Professional Services Team and ensure a smooth transfer of information between school and home as well as improving both the student and parent experience.  I am also responsible for setting and managing a balanced budget; facilitating the teaching and learning and support received by our students.
