Dear Parents/Carers,
There is plenty of good news, about Beecroft, to pass on to you today. We are proud of our supportive community.
After studying the features of Otley, Year 3 went on a full day trip to explore the town using their mapping skills.
Children were able to observe and identify key features from the ‘Surprise View’ at Otley Chevin. This included quarries, that now contain water and are considered a water source, recreational grounds such as football fields and rural aspects such as farms and fields.

We have been collecting food as part of our harvest festival and raising money through enterprises to donate to St George’s Crypt. Rev Andy told us a story about when his father-in-law cycled 100 miles. Once his father-in-law completed his 100 miles, he returned to his camp to find that the only food he had was one tin of cold beans. Rev Andy explained that this one tin of beans was the best meal he had ever eaten as he was exhausted and starving. Children learned that it is important to donate what we can as even a small amount can change somebodies’ life.
Dear Parents/Carers,
Thank you for helping us to get the new school year off to an excellent start. Attendance excellent so far and thank you for supporting the prompt 8.30am start. We want all pupils to join in our 34.75 hour school week and to do one of the enrichment activities after school(clubs).We have only 20 children left to join a club which is now part of our working school week. There is something for every child to choose and enjoy.
On Thursday 14th September 2023, Year 4 visited Malham in The Yorkshire Dales as part of their geography topic on rivers. The source of the river, Malham Tarn, is situated above the village of Malham and the pupils observed many features in the upper course of a river as they walked around the area surrounding the village. The day started with a hike up the side of Malham Cove (without too much complaining!) to reach the limestone paving at the top. We looked out across the amazing views to see the valleys in the landscape created by rivers. Along our route we further observed v-shaped valleys and visited the waterfalls Gordale Scar and Janet’s Foss. We were mesmerised by the beauty of Janet’s Foss and the dramatic scenes at Gordale Scar where we even saw someone climbing the rocky scars above the waterfall! Walking back along Gordale Beck, the pupils were able to put their geography knowledge and skills from the classroom into practice as they observed and explained to each other erosion in the streams and spotted human and physical features including drystone walls and stiles. The visit was thoroughly enjoyed by all!
Dear Parents/Carers,
I want to start by thanking you very much indeed for all your hard work in preparing your children for school. We have had a really excellent start – all pupils looking really smart – thankyou, wonderful singing in assembly, lovely manners and kind and ready to work children. It has been an absolute pleasure and we should be really proud of what we are doing together.

Dear Parents/Carers,
As we are fast approaching the end of the academic year, I want to thank you for all the daily support we get for attendance, getting children to school on time and in the support you give for reading and homework. Once again, I want to thank FAB our friends At Beecroft for all their work at the fair, family assemblies and in the positive approach to our school. It has been a very busy and very successful year.
