The Beauchamp College (pronounced /ˈbiːtʃəm/ beecham) is a comprehensive upper school and further education community college, in Oadby, a town on the outskirts of Leicester, England. It is next door to the Gartree High School. All upper schools in Oadby and Wigston are built next door to other secondary schools. It is situated on the south-west side of Oadby (relative to the A6), near Glen Gorse Golf Club. The school started life as Kibworth Beauchamp Grammar School (KBGS), a long-established grammar school on School Lane in Kibworth, which dated back nearly 600 years to the mid 15th century. The history of that school by Bernard Elliot is available on the web at http://www-users.york.ac.uk/~pml1/kbgs/history/. It became an Upper School in 1964 as the Beauchamp Grammar School when it moved into new buildings in Oadby, a rapidly growing residential suburban area to the South of Leicester, about four miles from the City of Leicester. In 1968 it became fully comprehensive, serving Oadby as its main catchment area as well as drawing from villages up to eight miles away.
