Welcoming our new Year 7s to Beckfoot Upper Heaton

We have been delighted to welcome our new Year 7 students to Beckfoot Upper Heaton. From the very beginning they have shown great enthusiasm, kindness and a real eagerness to be a part of our school community.

It has been wonderful to see how quickly our students are settling in, building friendships, and embracing life at secondary school. They have spoken with pride about their experiences so far, and their words reflect the inclusive and supportive culture we strive to create.

These quotes sum up the experience of our students so far:
