History
Beech Hall School was founded in 1926 by Mr W. Edwards as a Preparatory School for Boys.
Beech Hall itself is a large country house set in over sixteen acres of wooded grounds. It has been called beech hall since after the turn of the 20th century. In Victorian times it was called Higher Beech.
The house named Beech Hall has been in existence on the site since 1435, when it was the main residence of the Worth family.
In 1966, the school became a limited company and a charitable trust.
In 1981, girls were admitted to the school and one third of the pupils are girls in 2009.
