Information Regarding the Strike Action on the 30th of November
Nov 25th
As you will be aware from the media, the combined teacher and school leadership trade unions will be taking industrial action on the 30th November.
The action is a one day strike which will result in class or whole school closures across the country.
The decision to close the school or send pupils home is never taken lightly, but in this instance, where staff have elected to take lawful industrial action, I will have no choice but to take appropriate steps to ensure the health, safety and well being of all pupils. I can also assure you that, in my discussions with staff, their commitment to the school and families is unwavering and their decisions have been taken after considering all the facts very closely indeed.
There are legal restrictions on asking other staff to cover, as I would normally do in the event of absence for other reasons. These restrictions also prevent me from accepting offers from staff who are prepared to cover.
All of us are acutely aware that a school closure inconveniences parents and carers and so I am writing to give you advance notice that the school will be closed on that day. We will, of course, inform transport services.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Yours sincerely
Paul McGill
Headteacher

Beaucroft School Sponsored Bike Ride
May 27th
Pupils at Beaucroft are cycling the distance between Lands End and John O’Groats to raise money for Julia’s House and the British Heart Foundation.
One of the teachers, Duncan Russell and his brother Pete are undertaking the actual cycle this summer also to raise money for the two charities, so the pupils are going to replicate the journey using mainly, the 4 X-Dream Trixter bike simulators, they had installed last year to aid their individual fitness. Even the staff, including the site manager, office and kitchen staff and of course the teaching and support staff will put feet to the pedals and join in. The younger pupils will use their trikes and scooters as their feet don’t reach the pedals on the bigger bikes!!!
Beaucroft are fortunate to receive donations for much needed equipment throughout the year, so they feel that it is only fair that they put in the miles to raise money for other very deserving causes.
The sponsored cycle will take place in the week commencing 27th June and the pupils and staff are hoping to cycle the 1407km over the 5 days.
Their aim is to raise in the region of £4000 which will be split between Julia’s House and the British Heart Foundation.
