@B Upperheaton @B_upperheaton Welcome to the first edition of Beckfoot Upper Heaton's school newsletter. I'm sure you'll agree that this is a fantastic piece of work created by staff and students working together to share the achievements of our whole school community. Mrs. Boon has been the driving force behind the creation of this newsletter, ably supported by her student editorial team. I hope it will be enjoyed by all and be the first of many. The vision is for this magazine to be a finger on the pulse of Beckfoot Upper Heaton school life. Here we will share news of all events and activities that have taken place during the last term, and keep you informed about what great things are coming up next term. Cameron Parker is a School Motivational Speaker and has been running ‘Mindset and Motivation’ webinars for us throughout the lockdowns and has been delivering workshops in school. These sessions support our young people to stay motivated, build resilience and keep organised. Cameron Parker inspires people of all ages and backgrounds around the UK, but the majority of the work Cameron and his team do are in schools and colleges, supporting students on their educational journey. Cameron also runs motivational sessions in prisons, businesses, and universities. Cameron has positively impacted over 350,000 young people; he knows what work and he knows what it takes to be successful in life. Foodbanks and support over the summer. Natasha’s Uniform.

The campaign Beckfoot Upper Heaton have offered some fantastic extra-curricular activities to the students and recognises that friends are the greatest Science is no exception. Miss Ali has been running a influencers on adolescent girls and that science club on a Wednesday after school and the positive encouragement and support students are really burning up a storm, experimenting with new and exciting scientific from their peers is the most effective way madness, H2Oing the periodic table to get the brain to get girls active – at school and at juices flowing and discovering what great scientist home. It supports girls to lead campaigns contributed to our world of opportunity. The students have also been able to focus on some in their own school. By taking ownership practical learning through the examination of onion of the campaign – and by creating and .cell study. promoting messages that influence their STEM which stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math and encourages students to peers – girls can help each other to get invent their own ideas and bring them to life. STEM active, in ways that are right for them. has been inspiring students to create their own inventions. The competition encouraged students to think about the questions ‘how will STEM change your life?’. With technology developing and transforming at such a rapid rate, it’s important that the mindset of the young people of tomorrow does the same. Who knows, we may have the next Marie Curie or Brian cox at Beckfoot Upper Heaton. Diversity and celebration We joined schools nationally to celebrate Diversity Week. This week, students were educated about what LGBTQ+ means, so we can understand the battles they might experience and support our entire community. Every school subject had diversity as their focus. As a member of the Beckfoot Trust we respect everyone, regardless of gender, colour, religion, sexual orientation, whether binary or non-binary...the list goes on. Here is a taste of what we did: The Student Parliament made buns and led a bake sale to raise money for the charity called 'Just like Us'. On Friday we had a non-uniform day, where pupils could wear any colour to show they respect everyone. Throughout the week, we have included diversity in our lessons where students were educated about why we should accept and be tolerant of everyone. In music, students looked at samba bands that take part in Pride Week and explored song lyrics related to the topic. In Design, they created superhero costumes using colours from the Pride flag, In Science, pupils learned about LGBTQ+ individuals in the world of STEM, what LGBTQ+ means, and how Science is used as a social good. English lessons featured lessons on 'Hour' by Carol Ann Duffy. They watched a short film called 'Just Like Us' and a Blackout Poetry task. French completed the 'Ma Famille' lesson. We are proud that we provide learning experiences to promote the education of the whole child. We believe that RSE, Health and PSHCE should enable children to become healthier, more independent and responsible members of society. We encourage our students to play a positive role in contributing to the life of the school and the wider community. Duke of Edinburgh From the 5th to the 16th July, 30 of our year 9 students have been undertaking their Duke of Edinburgh expeditions in order to receive their Bronze award. They have walked a grand total of 80 miles combined, camped in weather ranging from torrential rain to blistering sunshine and collected some incredible blisters but their resilience, team work and brilliant attitude to challenges has seen them sail through the course (even when chased by hungry horses!). Ms Knight, Mrs Evans, Mr Forster, Mr Ahmed and PC Tony want staff, students and parents to know what a credit these boys are to our school and community!

    Rt Hon Matt Hancock MP Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport House of Commons, London, SW1A 0AA Thursday 11 January 2018 Dear Mr Hancock. RE – Northern Cultural Regeneration Fund consideration, Bradford Odeon My name is Si Cunningham, and I am the Chair of Bradford Civic Society. Since 1942, our group has existed to preserve Bradford’s heritage and promote a more beautiful built environment for the city. Bradford has suffered setbacks and economic hardships over the last few decades, yet when I took over as Chairman last year I made a pledge to look to the future and identify opportunities for tangible, positive change. That’s why I’m writing to you today – to urge the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport to award the shortlisted Bradford Odeon project the maximum possible funding from the Government’s Northern Cultural Regeneration Fund. This project will provide the West Yorkshire region with a flagship 4,500 capacity venue capable of hosting a variety of cultural attractions, bringing families back into our city centre and acting as a much-needed catalyst for wider regeneration – as restaurants, hotels and cafes open in the area. Complementing the Alhambra Theatre, National Science and Media Museum, and the magnificent City Hall, the Odeon could become the city’s iconic fourth grace – all framed beautifully by that world-renowned shared space of ours, City Park. Furthermore, a rejuvenated Bradford Odeon will be symbolic of the city’s rebirth as a cultural powerhouse and will inspire a whole new generation of Bradfordians – from all backgrounds – to immerse themselves in the creative industries.

    Photo Cathryn Bell Photo Cathryn Bell 2 Welcome to our first edition of 2019; sadly, our break did not include a tour of the Caribbean onboard the company yacht. However, since our relaunch last summer, things have gone well and we are very grateful to all our advertisers and supporters helping us to almost triple our print run. Sincere apologies if you have struggled to get a copy at times but the aim is to increase production. We want to maintain a true community magazine for Idle and Thackley that is content led with local issues foremost, not simply full of adverts; Captain Bill’s yacht will have to wait. Locally, almost the same time that Barclays closed their doors for good, the criminal element nearly blew the doors off the Post Office, taking the cash machine. The damage was horrific and had anybody been on-site the consequences are unimaginable. Sarj and the team would like to express their thanks for the heart- warming support from the local community. The Post Office is all we have now in terms of a local banking provision now so we should value this. Elsewhere, there is plenty going on with a smart conversion to offices of the Idle Coniston building plus plans for a bistro and a micropub in Thackley too. This issue contains all the old favourites plus the story of the Bradford Odeon, a building that defied many who sought to flatten it. Our new What’s On page aims to provide a directory of activities for young and old so help us publicise your activity.

  • Dementia Awareness
    2 One of the joys of producing The Trumpit is being en route to the printer, suddenly realising you’ve forgotten to include something and its too late! If anybody spotted the “deliberate” omission last month, you win a free copy of The Trumpit. We had intended to include a picture of the old folks enjoying afternoon tea and cakes on us at the Stonebridge complex in Idle – we cocked up – sorry. This month we correct this and also include the residents of Joseph Wright Court in Thackley too. Thanks to Idle Coffee Lounge and McCallans plus all contributors to the Bill Craven Memorial Fund. In last month’s issue we told of Bradford Council’s plans to spend over £15m of your money on pet projects thinly disguised as sport with sod all in BD10 – no change there then. We challenged the great leader, Hapless Hinchcliffe but, as with most of her kind, she ducked and dived like a modern-day Arthur Daley. As for any hope of local input, our very own Cllr Sunderland also seems somewhat reluctant to comment. The cost of the external report on which the spend will be based was £24,925 + vat so you might wonder why they need all those expensive Council officers when they rely on consultants so readily? Equally, it might have made more sense had they sent the ninety-odd councillors out into their wards to verify the accuracy of the report, were it not for the fact that many live nowhere near where they represent. Try to remember this next time the Council bleats about having no money.
