The sixth form offers post 16 education for students aged 16–18 and accepts both former Beauchamps students and students educated at other establishments. The school includes a fairly diverse student population, consisting primarily of British nationals and a small ethnic minority.[1] The current headteacher of the school is Mr Robert Hodges. The previous head was Mr Philip Bell.
