Newsletter – November 2018

Dear Parents,

I would like to start by thanking you for the excellent turn out for our open evening and morning. I am sure you will agree that it was a time to enjoy Beecroft at its best. All pupils had their quality work on display and the hall exemplified high level writing as well as the exciting projects from Design & Technology. The event started with our orchestra playing in the hall. We had approximately 50 new parents who commented particularly on the confidence of our children as they proudly explained the Beecroft story.

Children in Need – Well done to all classes for the magnificent total of £406.39 which will go to Children in Need. Each class held its own stalls and games and pupils enjoyed participating and buying buns. Well done!

Well-Being Day – Our well-being day, at the end of last half-term, was very productive and enjoyable. Thanks to the parents and our well-being governors who gave their time and talents.
