Thank you

Dear Parents / Carers,
We just wanted to send a message of thanks for all the support and patience you have shown over the last few months and especially in the last few days.
We are sure that the message from the Prime Minister has caused some concern amongst you. We would like to assure you that everyone at The Beacon Centre is working tirelessly to ensure a smooth transition to remote / online learning. We have learned a lot over the past few months and are ready to hit the ground running with our new curriculum offer for the next few weeks.
The lines of communication are always open with staff ready to answer any questions you may have.
Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you need any help or support.
Remember to regularly check Facebook, GoogleClassroom, Class Dojo and Youtube along with the school website for updates and work for your child.
Stay safe.

Dear Parent / Carer

*Return to School *

Government set out its plans for children and young people to return to school after the Christmas break.

We have had to make a decision that for the remainder of this week, we are only open for pupils who have Education Health Care Plan, open to Social Care and Health services, parents who are Key Workers and those who are vulnerable.

Staff will be making phone calls to all pupils today.

At secondary we will be starting the testing of pupils and consent forms will be issued to parents/ carers

If you have any questions or worries please get in touch with us.

School Return – 5th January

Thursday 31st December 2020

Dear Parents / Carers,
I hope you have had a safe and enjoyable Christmas.
Since term ended for the Christmas break, there has been much activity from the Government and the Department for Education regarding issues such as a staggered return of students in January. After recent updated guidance I wanted to clarify what the arrangements were for your child at the Beacon Centre.
Monday 4th January has always been planned as an INSET day for staff, therefore school will be closed for ALL students, both at Primary and Secondary.
Our main intentions are to ensure your child’s education, health and wellbeing is protected whilst supporting you as much as possible. Therefore, both sites will be open as normal on Tuesday 5th January and you are encouraged to send your child as normal.
You will be contacted by your child’s tutor / class teacher on Monday 4th January to discuss the planned testing system in school.
Given the developing situation, we will communicate any changes to parents / carers as quickly as possible. Please contact school if you have any concerns or questions from Monday 4th January.
Again, many thanks for your support in 2020 and we all wish you a safe, happy and peaceful 2021.
Take care and best wishes,
Dominick Gray
Deputy Head Teacher

Miss Burrows has been really impressed with the Maths work produced this term, she’s updated the WAGOLL (what a good one looks like) display board ready for next term!
