Dear Parents,
Welcome back to 2019-2020.
Thank you for returning on time and for ensuring that all our children are smart and well prepared.
Summer Reading and Holiday Challenge: Pupils have until Wednesday 11th September to complete this (10 colour points if joining in and the chance of a prize)
After School Club: Teachers provide extra-curricular clubs free of charge and through good-will. These are on Monday Tuesday and Thursday. Teachers are in meetings and training on Wednesday evening each week. If you need child care please do not rely on the extra-curricular clubs as there will be times when they are not available. Our After School Club Childcare prices and conditions can be collected from the school office.
Extra-Curricular Clubs 3.15pm – 4.15pm start on Monday 23rd September: Please collect your child promptly from the side of the hall at 4.15pm.
Parents are Partners: We want to work in partnership with you to help your child to be happy and successful. If you want to discuss any matters, please contact the office to make an appointment with myself or your child’s class teacher. We have much to be proud of, at Beecroft, not least in our broad and balanced curriculum – musical instrument teaching, DT, art. Our Year 6 parents were delighted with their child’s achievements in July. Leeds City Council has also reminded all parents of the importance of the 3 ‘A’s’ – attendance, achievement and attainment in enabling children to be happy and successful.
We look forward to working with you and your child in the year ahead.
School Office Opening Times: The school office is open to parents at the following times for forms and uniform and payments. (Please respect the running of the business side of the school).
