Headteacher’s Update
Extra Curricular After School Clubs
Extra curricular activities add much to the pupils' self-esteem, personal and social development and learning skills. The School Council is very effective. They take immense pride in their achievements and value the opinions of others. They feel that the school enables them to achieve their best in all aspects. Report from Ofsted RGI
Pupil Voice
Pupils at Beecroft have a say in how the school is run. Pupil representatives are elected by pupils themselves. We have:

School Council (Pupil Council)
A school council is elected by pupils in the school. There are 2 representatives from each class. Meetings discuss suggestions pupils make. It plans money raising events for school and charity, and has a 'voice' in school affairs.
Educational Visits And Visitors
At Beecroft we try to arrange a variety of educational visits and visitors into the school, to broaden experiences and to stimulate interest. We usually invite parents to make a voluntary contribution towards any cost. No child would be excluded from a school outing through an inability to contribute, however, plans may have to be cancelled if insufficient funding is available. Residential visits of 2 days are organised for Year 5 to Nell Bank and Year 6 to Castleton in Derbyshire. All pupils can participate. Residentials
