Dear Parents
Thank you for your support with attendance during this half term of very cold and unpleasant weather.  Our average for our school from September 2012 to February half term 2013 is 97.7%. This is high. Well done.  A number of pupils have improved their attendance with noticeable improvements in their work as a result.  Unfortunately, 4 pupils have attendance below 85% and this is persistent absence.

Dear Parents,
Welcome back! The summer holiday has passed very quickly!  Ever more so as we have had major building work to accommodate our intake of 40 Reception children.  This has been funded from Beecroft’s own budget.  We have also started the studio build on top of Year 6.  Many thanks to the governors who met during the holidays to discuss the way forward when tenders were returned.
