The Beaconsfield School is a co-educational secondary school in Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire. It is a secondary modern community school[1], which takes children from the age of 11 through to the age of 18. The school has approximately 800 pupils.[2]

In 2006 the Department for Education and Skills (DfES) awarded the school specialist school status as an Arts College specialising in both the performing arts and the visual arts.[3]

The Beaconsfield School is one of several Buckinghamshire schools which host mobile phone masts. Contracts between Buckinghamshire County Council and various mobile phone operators generate an income of £145,000 per annum, of which about £59,000 comes from contracts for masts that are installed in schools.
