Parents Are Partners
School is a friendly, welcoming place for children, parents, staff and visitors. The support and co-operation of parents is highly valued. Parents and teachers are partners in the education of children, and open and positive relationships between them are encouraged. You are always welcome in school to offer your time and talents or simply just to speak to the staff. There is a friends and parents group who meet regularly and raise money for the school. (F.A.B.) Friends At Beecroft.
We positively welcome parents in school and we are available to discuss your child both informally and at the three parent consultations evenings (one each term).

Beecroft Is Community
Beecroft is very active in the local community. Each year we take part in Kirkstall Festival and in the Kirkstall Arts Trail.
We have strong links with St. George’s Crypt. We use our enterprise skills to raise money for the charity and send our Harvest Festival produce to help others less fortunate than ourselves.
Parent Voice
“
Following the school winter performances in December, we have been intending to write to school to show our appreciation for the work that you do with the children. Sometimes it goes unsaid when things are going well, and people are happy.
Some other parents, both from FAB and parent friends, also wanted to show their gratitude for school and so we have included comments and feedback from those parents within this letter.
All parents named in the letter are happy for their comments and feedback to be shared, either with governors, friends, around school, or on the website.
Firstly, I wanted to talk about the Winter Performances and how the children put on such a fabulous show. It is a credit to you and all the teachers and staff, not to forget Drama Club. My children have developed a love of drama, music and art. I credit this to school and your unwavering enthusiasm for the arts.
After school activity clubs are fantastic, providing children at Beecroft with the opportunity to take part (free of charge) in activities that enrich their school day. Since starting at Beecroft, my children have tried their hand at gardening, sports leaders, art, drama club, dance club and first aid. Thank you to the teachers and staff that give their spare time to these activity clubs, this widens the experiences for the children and allows them to pursue interests and fun activities outside of the school day. We really appreciate the clubs, thank you.
It goes without saying that the academic standards at Beecroft are high. The results at school speak for themselves. We have a primary school teacher in the family who was absolutely amazed and impressed with the quality and standard of the work that the children achieve here at Beecroft.
The standards of behaviour at Beecroft are high, the children are polite and courteous, any acts of bullying are dealt with immediately. In the five years my daughter has attended Beecroft, I hardly hear of it.
Our children enjoy attending Beecroft, they feel happy and most importantly, safe. The Placetobe service that you have in school with Debbie is fantastic and shows how seriously school takes health and wellbeing. The teachers are always open and available to raise any concerns, and we have always felt comfortable speaking openly to the teachers about anything going on at home or at school. We feel fortunate to have such a great school on our doorstep.

We are grateful to be a part of the Beecroft community and embrace it with our support at school events. We are incredibly fortunate that our child is surrounded by a wonderful class and a supportive friendship group that extends beyond school hours into playdates and gatherings.
The support we receive from the school is invaluable, and I am always deeply appreciative of the help provided by the After School Club. The teachers who run it are wonderful, and their dedication does not go unnoticed.
I understand that teaching comes with its challenges, especially in these times, and I am always thankful for the efforts of all the staff at the school. From Mr. Saddler's reassuring presence with his trusty umbrella during the COVID days to the delightful songs taught for family assemblies, these moments have created special memories for us. Whilst the pandemic was a difficult period, seeing a smiling face in the mornings made a world of difference.
The school's ethos is something to be proud of, and I often tell others that regardless of age, background, or circumstances, every child at Beecroft is polite and respectful. A simple greeting is always met with a warm and courteous response.
Personally, I believe this is the greatest testament to the school's success and the nurturing environment it provides.

Thank you to all the teachers and staff who work so hard to make Beecroft such an exceptional primary school. The high quality teaching and dedication of the staff is evidenced through the standard of work the children produce and the high behaviour standards set by Beecroft are so important for shaping the development of our children.
As a parent of dual heritage children, it is great to see the diversity of the school being celebrated, not just once or twice a year but woven into teaching via the songs and books read in school and performed at family assemblies throughout the year. Our extended family in Ghana could not believe our children were learning the local Ghanaian song ‘Che Che Kule’ to sing in assembly!
Most importantly to me as a parent however is that my children enjoy coming to school every day. My children feel safe, happy and cared for at Beecroft.

Beecroft Primary School is an outstanding school with exceptional teaching techniques and efforts. We have been part of the school since 2018 and we can observe how our kids have progressed so far, not only academically, but also in their behaviours, discipline, organisation etc. I believe all children in Beecroft behave well and learn with enthusiasm.

I wanted to write to say what a positive experience it has been to be part of the Beecroft school community. Jack has settled in and made lots of friends. I appreciate the focus you put on mental health, kindness, celebrating difference and being part of a global community. I know your educational standards are incredibly high and I truly feel that most people (unfortunately) would need to pay to receive this. It’s not the way it should be so it makes me even more proud that Jack is fortunate enough to benefit from this as ‘the norm’. I wish all children were so lucky. The teachers we’ve met have been unfailingly kind, warm and approachable which matters a great deal to me as a parent, to know that the children experience this as the norm. Thank you all for your hard work. It is appreciated. I am delighted to know I will be part of Beecroft for many years to come!

Both of my children are happy at Beecroft. We've always found teachers and leadership approachable and responsive to any issues no matter how minor. Mrs Brown and Miss Pinder have really gone the extra mile in making my son feel happy and supported with his additional needs. The standard of teaching is high and both children are making excellent progress but more importantly, are happy to come to school.

I would like to pass on my thanks to all the teachers and staff who have taught and looked after my children over the years. Beecroft has been part of our lives for 12 years since 2013 when my daughter started in reception and then the boys after that and we have lots of lovely memories from their experience at school.
