Development of
Modern Fluencies
in distilling the essence of our school, it is apparent that it is not the individual activities which set us apart but the way in
which we weave them fluently together through our teaching and learning, the range of experiences on offer, and in the
values we nurture in all Beacon community members. We will increase our attention to the development of these ‘fluencies’
in every Beacon boy. our pupils will leave us with the strength and determination to translate their ideas into reality using
a fluent range of technologies, skills, characteristics and tools.
• Qualifications alone do not distinguish outstanding young men. The boys and teachers will be encouraged to show initiative,
innovation, entrepreneurship and philanthropy. These will be embedded in our curriculum and extra-curricular opportunities. We
will work closely with a federation of local charities with similar brand values, with huge benefits to the boys’ values and the whole
community.
• We will establish a greater role for Young Enterprise and entrepreneurial activities, as we prepare them for an evolving employment
landscape.
• Young employees of tomorrow need to adopt a growing range of quickly advancing technological aptitudes. We will embed
these into our curriculum as they arrive whilst ensuring we educate our boys and their families about appropriate use of technology
alongside the ‘traditional’ characteristics we continue to promote.
• Our education will better incorporate an understanding of our individual responsibilities as ‘stewards’ of the planet. This will involve
an appreciation of the fragility of our planet and the need for a sustainable lifestyle.
• Young people will need a global perspective to find real success. This includes the ability to understand customs, cultures and
languages around the world. We will expand our cross-curricular activities to ensure global perspectives feature strongly within
our core academic structure.
