Beamont Collegiate Academy (formerly William Beamont Community High School) is a mixed secondary school located in the Orford area of Warrington in the English county of Cheshire.[1] The school is named after William Beamont, a Victorian philanthropist and the first mayor of Warrington.

Previously a community school administered by Warrington Borough Council, William Beamont Community High School was converted to academy status on 1 March 2013 and was renamed Beamont Collegiate Academy. The school is now sponsored by Warrington Collegiate,[2] however the school continues to coordinate with Warrington Borough Council for admissions.

The school is due to move to a new building in 2016, funded by the Government’s Priority Schools Building Programme. The new build is located on the same site, and is being constructed by Wates Group.[3]
