Beauchamps High School, more formally known as Beauchamps School, is a mixed intake secondary school and sixth form college for children aged between 11 and 18 (school years 7 to 13). The name 'Beauchamps' is french for beautiful fields. The school has an elected school council. The headmaster is Philip Bell. The schools prospectus can be found here [1]

The school is located in the town of Wickford in Essex, England, and moved to its present site in 1959.

The school was originally called Beauchamps Grant Maintained School until 1995 in which the name was changed to Beauchamps High School.

In 2003 the school acquired a specialist status as a Business and Enterprise school, this was followed by the school obtaining a Vocational status in 2008.

The school has had increasing GCSE results over the last few years. According to the school's website, in 2007, 60% of A-level passes were at Grades A to C, and 86% of students (a new school record) achieved 5 GCSEs at Grades A* to C.
