Dear Parents,
Reminder: Thursday 12th December Election Day School Closed.
Thank you: Open Evening and Morning: Our open evening and morning was a tremendous occasion. Parents, children, visitors all enjoyed our open sessions. School Council and Year 6 were proud ambassadors of the school and it was commented upon that they were confident, articulate, happy and proud to be part of Beecroft. Well done school council! Pupils’ demonstrated their work, made bee broches in D.T, felt making in art and our orchestra, including beginners – performed with enthusiasm.
It was a joy to see our fastly growing FAB group of parents making tea and coffee and playing a full part in the occasion. Thank you to our governors who had a strong presence in the hall. It is always good to see the high standard of work, on display from all classes and to come together as a community to celebrate our success. 50 prospective families visited.
Thank you again to everyone who helped to make the occasion so successful.
