History
In 2016, due to a lack of Secondary One students, Beatty Secondary School had been selected to merge with Balestier Hill Secondary School. This process was made in ease with the integration of Beatty's students and of Balestier Hill's students nearing the end of 2016. At the start of 2017, the school would finally be merged as one.
Academics
In 2005, Beatty became the fourth zonal centre in Singapore to offer Higher Chinese (A Levels) courses. Higher Tamil and Malay have yet to be offered in the institution.
Media mentions
Interviewed on Channel NewsAsia in February 2007, in a discussion on school upgrading, principal Boo Hian Kok expressed the view that schools should continue to ask for better facilities, provided they are able to justify their requests and prove they will benefit the students and teachers.
