Henry Beaufort School is a secondary school in Harestock, a suburb of Winchester, in the county of Hampshire in England.
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.[2]
