Parent Partnership
We welcome parents and carers into school, believing we are partners
in the education of your children. There are many opportunities for
parents to become involved in the work of the school and to gain a greater
understanding of its work. Parents’ time and expertise can be used in many
ways in school and are greatly valued.
Police checks and DBS checks are carried out on all adults helping in school.
If you are ever able to help, especially on a regular basis, please contact
the Principal.
We have many evenings for parents during the school year, including;
Parents’ consultation evenings, residential and visits information evenings,
feedback from visits, sex and relationships education, monitoring progress
and SATs, curriculum, sports, performing arts and musical events.
As a family-centred school, we have family events over weekends and after
school through Healthy Schools, sports and arts. We also have regular
assemblies and performances on our wonderful stage.
Parents should contact the school on the first morning of any absence.
All absences must be covered by a parental note explaining the reasons for
the absence so that the school may decide whether or not the absence is to
be authorised.
The Brooke Weston Trust has opted not to authorise any absences for family
holidays. The school liaises regularly with our Educational Welfare Officer.
Most absences for acceptable reasons such as the following will generally
be authorised:
• Sickness for up to 2 days without some form of notification from the doctor
• Unavoidable medical or dental appointments (you should try, if possible, to
arrange these for after school or during school holidays)
• Days of religious observance
• Exceptional family circumstances, such as bereavement
Absence will not generally be authorised for any other reason.
If you know that your child is going to be absent contact the school in advance
to complete an absence form.
LOOKING SMART
We have a simple school uniform. It consists of
dark grey or black trousers, dark grey or black
skirt or pinafore dress, white shirt with collar or
polo shirt and blue sweatshirt or cardigan.
Sweatshirts, cardigans, PE and book bags
can all be purchased with the Beanfield school
logo. Please contact the school office for details
on how to purchase uniform.
Children are expected to wear sensible,
practical clothing and shoes. All clothing must
be clearly named.
Children should not wear jewellery to school. The
Governors have made this decision in response to
a Health & Safety directive.
MOVING ON
Transition to secondary school is the responsibility
of the parent. The school does not seek to promote
one school over another and would recommend
that parents research the relevant school websites
in order to obtain information about applying
and procedures that may be in place for that
particular school.
