Beckfoot Trust is an organisation that links a group of local Bradford schools together so that they can collectively improve the life chances for young people within their schools. Our aim is to create a group of truly remarkable schools each with a genuine comprehensive intake. They will be wonderful places for young people to learn and grow up in. We want to make a difference. We want to create something special.

Dear Families,

Learning at Home on Wednesday 5th and Friday 7th July

We wanted to provide some additional detail ahead of the Industrial Action on Wednesday and Friday.

All students have recently moved up into their new year groups ahead of September. Therefore, students could use the day to address areas of learning that they found difficult on their recent end of year assessments. Spending time revising and revisiting these areas will ensure students have even stronger foundations for the year ahead.

In addition, students can use the time to undertake work in their new ILBs (Independent Learning Booklets) which they have all been issued with.

We have provided a range of links below to support students in their revision.

Although there are plenty of resources to support students in the equivalent of 5 lessons worth of study, we know that students will need to work at their own pace. Students should not do more than their usual 5 hours a day of lesson time and will need to take breaks as an important part of looking after themselves and structuring their day.

Best Wishes,

Nikki Sullivan, Deputy Headteacher

We wanted to provide some additional detail ahead of the Industrial Action on Thursday and Tuesday.

All students are currently involved in their yearly assessments. Therefore, students should use the day to revise for their assessments which are coming up next week. We have provided a range of links below to support students in their revision.

HL - Year 7HL - Year 8HL - Year 9HL - Year 10


Dear Families,
 

Learning at home on Wednesday and Thursday for Years 7, 8, 9 and 10.

We wanted to provide some additional detail ahead of the Industrial Action tomorrow and Thursday.

For our students in Years 7, 8, 9 and 10, work will be set on Class Charts and include some written work and some Seneca assignments. These assignments will not 'go live' until Wednesday morning in order to support our students in managing their time.
 
Enough work has been set for the equivalent of 5 lessons each day. However, we know that students will need to work at their own pace, so there is no expectation that all work is completed - students should not do more than their usual 5 hours a day of lesson time. We have deliberately included some links to practical PE sessions which can be completed at home to give our students a break from their screens / written tasks.
 
Your child has been supported in tutor time with how to access Seneca Learning and a brief overview can be found here: Beckfoot School - Seneca Information - Year 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13. Should any students have difficulty logging into Seneca, all of these tasks include an optional 'extension activity' which can be completed instead.
 
You can set up your own Seneca Learning account, where you will be able to see how your child is using this platform for revision, as the website/app can also be used by students to support their independent learning. Details can be found here: Beckfoot School - Seneca Information - for families.
Best Wishes
Nikki Sullivan, Deputy Headteacher

We wanted to provide some additional detail ahead of the Industrial Action on Tuesday.

For our students in Years 7, 8, 9 and 10, work will be set on Class Charts and include some written work and some Seneca assignments. Details of the work set can also be found on our school website here: Beckfoot School - Industrial Action.

These assignments will not 'go live' until Tuesday morning in order to support our students in managing their time. As all students work at a different pace, there is no expectation that all work is completed, and students should not do more than their usual 5 hours a day of lesson time. We have deliberately included a practical PE session which can be completed at home to give our students a break from their screens / written tasks.

Should you wish to, you can set up your own Seneca Learning account, where you will be able to see how your child is usin this platform for revision, as the website/app can also be used by students to support their independent learning. Details can be found here: Beckfoot School - Seneca Information - for families

All work set on Class Charts will also have an 'extension activity' so should any students have difficulties getting onto Seneca, or just want to undertake a variety of activities over the course of the day, they can complete this activity instead.

Best wishes,

Nikki Sullivan, Deputy Headteacher
