What The Good Schools Guide says..

Towers, curved walls, covered outside staircases and walkways – it all looks rather like an animated Escher drawing as pupils go busily up and down between lessons. Well-equipped labs where legendary ‘screaming jelly baby’ and other spectacular experiments are staged – obviously science is not impervious to Mr W’s performing arts campaign. What would improve their school, we asked? Modest proposals included golf buggies to transport pupils to games fields over the common, flattening the bump in the Astro, compelling teachers to sit their own exams and ‘unlimited ice cream’...

What the school says...

A thriving, bustling place, Beaudesert is that rare thing - a great school of a decent size, in the heart of the country, and yet within truly easy reach of cities, motorways and trains. Fantastic facilities, a truly all-round approach to education and great academic results have all helped make Beaudesert a hugely popular choice with locals as well as with people moving into Cotswolds villages from the hustle and bustle of London amongst other places. Confident children and their happy parents help make word of mouth the best marketing tool for this school. ...Read more

Headmaster

Since 1997, James Womersley (50s). Educated at The Dragon and St Edward’s Oxford, studied economics, history ‘and rugby’ at Durham, PGCE from Oxford. Came to Beaudesert after Eagle House, Emanuel London and nine years at his old prep school. He cites this time at the Dragon, where he became a housemaster, as a formative influence.

Mr W and his wife, Fiona, make a prep school power couple. Parents can be assured that whatever (or whoever) comes their way, the Womersleys have probably seen it before. Mrs W comes from a prep school family, although she claims it was the ‘last thing I thought I’d find myself doing’. Nothing daunted, she takes care of marketing, catering, pastoral and safeguarding - and somehow manages to look groomed and elegant at the same time....
