Welcome back everyone! I hope that you all had a lovely half-term break.
We have had a great week here at Beckfoot Thornton. The sun has been shining (apart from today!) and spirits are high.
This week, our Year 10 and Year 12 students have been working really hard to carry out their mock exams. These mock exams are extremely important as they prepare students for their actual exams the following year. The mock exams continue into next week, so please encourage your child to keep up with their revision.
In anticipation of our planned transition days in July, some of our staff have enjoyed vising our primary feeder schools this week. It has been great to meet some of the students that will be joining our school in September. We can't wait for them to arrive.
Year 8 and some Year 9 students this week have braved having their HPV vaccinations. The nurses fed back that the students were responsible, polite and mature. Well done Year 8 and 9.
We have had another fantastic turnout to our after-school PE sessions this week. I feel the weather may have helped!
I am really looking forward to our Year 8 Positive Choices day on Wednesday next week. This is an initiative that aims to reduce knife crime among young people.
The work has been sponsored by Leeds United and West Yorkshire Police. We are expecting representatives of Leeds United, Huddersfield town, Bradford City, senior officers from the West Yorkshire police and possibly Tracy Brabin in school. It’s obviously a very important day that I am sure that our students will get a lot out of.
If you do have any questions regarding the Positive Choices day, please email Mrs Haworth, Assistant Headteacher - njh@beckfootthornton.org
Have a lovely weekend!
