  • September 2020
    September 2020 Welcome to Beckfoot Trust Thank you for taking an interest in Beckfoot Trust and its schools, we really appreciate it. We are working to create remarkable schools where no child is left behind. We need great people to join us in that endeavour. We established the Trust in 2013 with two schools and have steadily built up to ten, with four secondary, four primary and two special schools. We created the Trust because we believe that schools are stronger by working together. To join the Beckfoot Trust a school has to be located in Bradford, be genuinely comprehensive in character and critically, to believe in the power of collaborative practice to drive improvement. We educate over 7,300 learners aged 2 to 19 and have 1100 staff. All of our schools are improving at pace and we have seen some remarkable transformations. There is huge pride across our community in what we stand for and are seeking to achieve. Please take the time to read our Strategic Vision document: ‘Creating Remarkable Schools’. It sets out very simply our core purpose, our key features and our ambitions for young people and our staff. ‘No child left behind’ is our mantra. Equally, please read our ‘Workload and Well Being 10 pledges’. Everything we do is shaped by these two documents. We use formal collaborative networks and extensive professional development programmes to share best ideas, identify talent and develop it. We work with external partners to accelerate our development. We believe that Beckfoot Trust is a great place to work. We offer competitive salaries, dedicated INSET days for planning, bespoke professional development including career stage leadership development programmes and much more.

  • Proposals for Increasing Specialist Provision for Children and Young People with Special Education Needs and Disabilities (SEND)
    Proposals for Increasing Specialist Provision for Children and Young People with Special Education Needs and Disabilities (SEND) Proposed Development for a Local Authority led Resourced Provision (RP-LA) at Sandal Primary School Pre-Consultation document 28th September – 9th October 2020 Your views are important to us. We would like to gain your views and comments on the Councils proposals and provide you with the opportunity to ask questions and discuss the proposals. September 2020 Monday, 28 September 2020 The Consultation Background information The Bradford District has experienced a significant increase in demand for Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) provision in the last 10 years. It is projected that the demand for SEND provision will continue to grow across all sectors in the Bradford District. Bradford has experienced a year on year increase of children and young people requiring an Educational, Health and Care Plan (EHCP). As at 14th September 2020 the Local Authority is maintaining 4497 Educational, Health and Care Plans. There are also 13,616 children and young people who receive SEN Support. Evidence shows there continues to be an increased demand for specialist places across all sectors. In order to meet the growing demand for places we analyse the data by primary need. The order below represents the largest number of pupils with a current EHCP by primary need: 1. Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) 2. Social, Emotional and Mental Health Needs (SEMH) 3. Severe Learning Difficulty (SLD) 4. Speech Language and Communication Needs (SLCN) 5. Physical Difficulties (PD) Bradford offers a range of educational provision to meet the needs of Children and Young People with Special Education Needs and Disabilities (SEND).

  • December 2020 FOI 6051-20 Police Officers in Schools
    Our ref: 6051/20 In relation to the discloure link https://www.westyorkshire.police.uk/sites/default/files/foi/2020-07/july_2020_foi_1715- 20_officers_in_schools.pdf Could I please just check one point: Could you specify the names of schools to which 43.65 officers were deployed in 2019-20? Please see the attached document. West Yorkshire Police have maintained engagement with schools through the Safer Schools Partnership, a national way of working to foster intensive and long-term engagement with the school community whether pupils, teachers, governors or parents. The partnership has seen members of the Force, usually police officers, but in some cases PCSOs, fulfil their operational duties in a school-based environment as a resident member of staff. The partnership has involved schools contributing a certain percentage of an officer’s/PCSOs salary in return for their work in the school. The precise percentage has varied from school to school. It also determines the percentage of time they spend at the school, so a 20% contribution may mean that an officer spends 1 day a week at the school.
