About

Students at secondary school have been paying their respect to the late Queen Elizabeth II. Students have also, took part in an assembly which identified they huge role the Queen played in our country as well as the rest of the world. Student wrote a message on the bottom of a candle to share a message and remember the Queen.

Some students from secondary have also visited the Town Hall to sign the book of condolence. A lovely message was left on behalf of all staff and students at The Beacon Centre Secondary. Miss Lamberts After School Club, where Young People were given the opportunity to create tasty and healthy breakfasts. Overnight oats were a huge success.

The Young People enjoyed a mixture of nutritious and exotic fruits making delicious breakfasts they can eat at the breakfast club the next day! Teachers from both sites shared best practice last night at our Primary School site to ensure that high quality teaching and feedback is consistent across the school.

They all looked at the new feedback policy in action and shared how to gather evidence from non-written sources.

In the school’s own words, from the school website.
