This week

Given the extreme weather conditions forecast for the remainder of this week, we have decided to allow all students the choice of following attire for the next 3 days:
- their full their normal full school uniform with normal school shoes (jumper does not have to be worn); or
- their full Beckfoot School PE kit with trainers (hoodie does not have to be worn).
No other items of clothing will be permitted. 
For post -16 students, this will also include the wearing of smart shorts.
On Monday 29 June 2026, we will revert back to normal full school uniform with normal school shoes during the day.
Remember: we strongly recommend bringing plenty of water, sun protection, including sun cream and a hat/cap (to be worn whilst outside during breaktimes, PE lessons, and other outdoor activities), to help protect against the sun.
For outdoor PE lessons, students should come prepared for activity in the heat. Please note that sunglasses cannot be worn during PE, but suitable sun hats are encouraged when outside.
Please take care.

Ski Trip to Italy 2027 – complete application form here from Monday 16 March 2026 at 7:00pm

Like last year, for applications, priority will be given to students who did not participate in this year’s ski trip, are currently in Years 10 and 12, and submit their applications within the first hour.

The first 45 students will be notified on Thursday 19 March 2026 and will then be required to pay a deposit of £150.00 within 72 hours. If the deposit is not received by Monday 23 March 2026, your child will lose their space and it will be offered to the next person on the waiting list. A payment schedule will then be set up once deposits have been received so that students can pay in instalments over the course of the year.

Students who have previously taken part in the Ski Trip have found it to be a most rewarding experience. They have reported that they have increased confidence due to learning a new skill, experiencing a different culture and being part of a team. The students who go on the ski trip will be representing our school. It is therefore imperative that their behaviour is exceptional. In the event of serious incidents occurring whilst we are away, the school will reserve the right to send students home at the expense of parents/carers.

Please note; that your child’s place on the ski trip is subject to their continued good behaviour throughout the school year.

Yours faithfully,

Omar Awan

Teacher of PE & Ski Trip Leader
