Strong local partnerships supporting a successful transition

We work closely with Beckfoot Heaton Primary School to ensure a smooth and successful transition for Year 6 pupils beginning their journeys into secondary education.

Mr Dey, Headteacher at Beckfoot Upper Heaton, and Mrs Mawson, Headteacher at Beckfoot Heaton, collaborate regularly on a well-structured transition programme designed to support all students joining Beckfoot Upper Heaton in September, whether they come from Beckfoot Heaton or one of our many valued local partner primary schools.

As part of the Beckfoot Trust, both schools share a clear vision: to create remarkable schools where no child is left behind. This shared ethos underpins everything we do to ensure students feel welcomed, confident, and ready to succeed from their very first day.

There is a proud and long-standing tradition of local families attending both Beckfoot Heaton and Beckfoot Upper Heaton. Our partnership is rooted in continuity, care, and high expectations, ensuring every child is well-prepared for the next stage of their learning journey.

Our shared approach means we really understand what our students need at this crucial point, it’s about making sure every child feels prepared, supported and excited for what lies ahead.
