History
The school was first established in September 1907 as a boys' school[3] named Camden Secondary School for Boys, it later changed its name to Holloway County Grammar School and then to Holloway Comprehensive School.[4]
In September 2018, the Governing Body was dissolved and the governance of the school was taken over by the expanded federation of Elizabeth Garrett Anderson and Copenhagen Schools.
In June 2019, Holloway School was rebranded as Beacon High.[5]
Present
Beacon High offers GCSEs as programmes of study for pupils. Although the school does not operate its own sixth form, graduating pupils are guaranteed a place at City and Islington College through the City and Islington Sixth Form Consortium.[6]
