Lift Beacon High is a school where young people can realise their dreams and ambitions. It is a school where we believe in whole education; success in exams is crucial but so too is developing the whole child. We know that our students come to us from primary school with a vision of where they want to be and what they want to become.

Welcome to Lift Beacon High
A school with purpose. A community with ambition
I am extremely proud to lead an ambitious and transformed school, a richly diverse community and a clear commitment to becoming one of the leading schools in North London.
At Lift Beacon High, we exist to transform young people’s lives through education.
We believe every student should develop a belief in their own potential, feel a strong sense of belonging, and leave us equipped to become more than they once thought possible, inspiring to be a light for others.
An excellent education to every child, in every classroom, every day.
At Lift Beacon High, high expectations and strong relationships go together. There is a real warmth within our school. We are creating calm, purposeful classrooms; a culture where attendance matters; expert teaching; reading and literacy at the heart of learning; and a rich programme of opportunities beyond the classroom.
One of our great strengths is our size. As a small secondary school, we can know each child well and build genuine partnerships with students, staff and families.
This is an exciting time for Lift Beacon High. We are building a school characterised by high expectations, strong relationships and relentless improvement. Our ambition is for Lift Beacon High to become a school of choice for families in Islington and North London and a school our entire community can be proud of.
A website can only ever give you a glimpse of what makes a school special. I warmly invite you to visit us, meet our students and staff and experience Lift Beacon High for yourself.
I look forward to welcoming you.
Aaron Collingwoode-Williams
