History The school was built in 1971 as the first purpose-built, co-educational, comprehensive school in Winchester to serve the new developments created by the new Teg Down, Weeke Manor, and Harestock estates. The school had a full complement of year 7 students and about half a complement of year 8 students in its first year of operation. The school grew each year until 1975, when it had a full five years of intake. The school is named after Henry Beaufort, who was Bishop of Winchester and three times Lord Chancellor. On September 10, 2020, three students were severely injured after the Stagecoach bus carrying them to school collided with a bridge it was too high to pass under.
