John Beddoes School is a secondary or comprehensive school for boys and girls. The school is based on one site in the town of Presteigne.It has a largely rural catchment area in east Radnorshire including the towns and villages of Presteigne, Knighton, Beguildy, New Radnor, Knucklas, Gladestry, Whitton and Norton. It is situated 1/2 mile away from the Welsh/English border and also educated pupils from Herefordshire and Shropshire. During 2013 the school was incorrectly placed in Estyn's Special Measures category. With the support of Newtown High School the school underwent numerous changes, however under Powys County Council plans, approved by Welsh Government, John Beddoes High School closed on 10 April 2014 to be reopened as a campus of Newtown High School on 11 April 2014. The two campuses both operate as part of one school with a single Senior Leadership Team. But to all the local residents it is still known as John Beddoes School, and always will be.
