Monday 27th June  

In agreement with Jeremy’s family, who we are in close contact with, on Monday 27th of June it will be the business of learning as usual and this is because they absolutely know it is what Jeremy would have wanted, however we will be running a series of assemblies that morning for all students. We would also like to invite our Year 11, Year 12, and Year 13 students who wish to attend, to an assembly after school on Monday 27th June at 3:30pm. If they wish to attend, we would like them to come in school uniform (if they have it) or professional dress – he would insist on nothing less. Students returning for this should arrive at school after 3:15pm and our usual high standards are expected.  

Professional support will be available in school for staff and students; any student that is particularly affected by this news should contact the school on the following email office@beckfootthornton.org and arrangements can be made. 

Remembrance  

Further information about how to add to our book of condolences and donate to Barnardo's in lieu of flowers, can be found in the full post on the school website. 

We will be in touch about further memorial plans, including a memorial event for students, soon. 

Our end of Year 11 Prom at the Mercure Bankfield Hotel on Friday 1st July will continue as planned, and a letter will be sent out later in the week outlining the details.  

Jeremy has left us with a very precious legacy; we will continue to do whatever it takes to lead this school to where it deserves to be, delivering the absolute best outcomes for the young people and community that we serve.  

Yours sincerely  

Sally Trusselle
