Beckfoot named in top 16 best state sixth forms in West Yorkshire
Dear Parent/Carer,
I want to share some wonderfully positive news about our sixth form that was published over the weekend.
We have been named as one of the top 16 state schools in West Yorkshire for our A Level results. The list includes colleges and schools, and we are thrilled that our school has been recognised, and we couldn't be prouder of our students and staff.
As you know, our sixth form is an incredibly important part of our school community. Every day, our post 16 students are doing amazing things and demonstrate exceptional dedication to academic learning, their leadership roles and their contribution to the wider life of our school through involvement in volunteering. Their ambition and determination very much helps to shape the culture of excellence at our school. Each year more and more of them are building their futures at Beckfoot and the manner in which they are prepared for life beyond Beckfoot is something that makes us very proud.
Under the leadership of Dr. Wright and his team we are building a very special provision at Beckfoot. It is exciting and very much focussed on students, their next steps, their personal and social development and their aspirations.
Beckfoot School continues to thrive. Our school is one of the top performing in the city and county, with students who excel in terms of learning, attitudes, behaviour, personal development and so much more. They breathe life into our building each morning and they are such a pleasure to work alongside.
This recognition is very much deserved for our students, staff and families, and follows our recent nomination for 2025 Secondary School of the Year in Bradford.
I know that we have so much more to do but we are getting so much right for our community. We thank you for your ongoing support, which is pivotal to our journey where soul, strategy, ambition and aspiration drives us to be better every day.
Best wishes.
Simon Wade, Headteacher
