History

The origins of Beechwood House date back to 1855[1], located on Calverley Mile Road (now Pembury Road) amid a number of other Italian style Victorian villas of the time. The school celebrated its centenary in 2015.[2] This was marked by alumni events and the collation of artifacts for a time capsule to be opened in 2065.[3] Founded by the Society of the Sacred Heart in 1915, Beechwood retains its founders' traditions but today welcomes pupils of all faiths.

Beechwood's headmistress is Ms Dani Saffer.[1]
