Transition Events
We’re excited to welcome your child into school soon!
Transition Welcome Evening – Monday 30 June 2025
5:00pm - 6:15pm
Join us at our Welcome Evening to meet students and staff and learn more about our school community. We hope you understand that our invitation extends to two adults only; this is to ensure your evening is comfortable and we can talk with every parent/carer and their child.
Doors will open at 4.45pm. On arrival, we will provide you with your child’s tutor group and where you need to go during the event. We will also provide you with your Class Chart app code so you can receive updates about what your child has been doing during their Transition Day with us.

- We look forward to seeing your child again on our Transition Day. They will experience a day at Beckfoot, learn more about the school and hopefully get answers to all their questions.
- It is also an opportunity to begin get to know the site, build new friendships and get to know their Tutor which ensures a smooth start with us.
