In 1940 a German bomb hit the school, causing slight damage. The Hall was leased to Thomas Tapping and his wife Bessie, who opened the private Beeston Hall School in 1948. In 1967 the school became an incorporated trust, and in 1970, following the death of Robert Wyndham Ketton-Cremer, the last squire of Felbrigg, the school acquired the freehold and about 14 acres (5.7 ha) of land. Over the years the school has expanded; it is the biggest employer in the parish. It has also acquired other surrounding land including Beeston Hall Common, which it purchased from the parish of Beeston Regis. Present schoolThe school is currently split into two parts;
Its pupils take the Common Entrance Examination, going on to a range of public school such as Oundle, Uppingham, Oakham, Harrow, Radley, Eton, Tudor Hall, Norwich High School, Gresham’s, The leys and Stowe.[3][4] In 2009 55 percent of Common Entrance papers were graded A or B, rising to 76 percent by 2013; in 2014 figures stood at 92 percent.[5] There are 4 school houses. Pupils take part in inter-house events including music, quiz, hockey, rugby, swimming, tennis, athletics (sports day) and cross country.
Sports and activitiesChildren play sport every afternoon for at least an hour with matches against other schools/clubs mainly on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons. The main sports are Rugby, Hockey and Cricket for the boys and Netball, Hockey, Tennis and Rounders for the girls. In addition, children at Beeston can also take part in Swimming, Tennis, Athletics, Cross-Country, Fencing, Shooting, Sailing and Golf.[6] The School’s facilities include 25 acres of grass pitches, a full size Astro turf pitch, all-weather (flood lit) Netball and Tennis Courts, an indoor shooting range, a sports hall (large enough for three indoor cricket nets), an outdoor heated 20m Swimming Pool, four Cricket Squares in the summer and outdoor cricket nets.[7] BoardingBeeston Hall has two boarding houses:[8]
The unique boarding model enables younger pupils to be part of the main boarding community situated in the heart of the school before moving on to Deterdings in preparation for their senior school. ReligionThe school is inter-denominational. Worship is led by the school's chaplain, a retired vicar. On Saturdays the whole school attends a service in the twelfth-century Beeston Regis Parish Church whilst Catholics go to the local Catholic church in Cromer on Sunday mornings.[9] Headmasters
