Second Hand Uniform
We collect in unwanted uniform throughout the academic year and sell it for small donations in the summer holidays. Information will be posted on Class Dojo about when the sale will be hosted.
Family Dining
At Beckfoot Allerton, we have our lunch ‘family dining’ style, which fits of our school value of ‘responsibility’. Children sit with the same 10 children every day so they always have a familiar friend to talk to and nobody is left out.
All children then have a ‘job’ just like that would if they were sitting in a big family: someone helps to put out the cutlery, someone else will put out the cups and pour the water. The older children help the adults to serve the food. Family Dining means that children don’t have to queue up for their food and everyone eats at the same time.
Our catering company is called ‘FM’ and we post the menus (which run on a three week cycle) on Class Dojo each week so you can see what foods your child can choose from. We also run theme days throughout the year so everyone gets the opportunity to try new foods.
Some children choose not to have a hot dinner and they bring a healthy packed lunch. These children still sit with the others and still have a role to play at Family Dining.
Free school meals
Free school meals really do matter, yet too many families are not registered for them or don’t even realise that their child may be eligible.
Families should apply if they receive certain benefits, please click here for more information, and to find out if your child is eligible.
Wrap around care
Breakfast Club
We are delighted to have the Ofsted registered Kanga who run our breakfast club from 7.30am – 8.40am every day. Your child can have breakfast and complete fun activities to get them ready for the day ahead at school.
After School Care
As well as our own free school clubs, Kanga offer an after school club service with lots of flexible options from 3.30pm – 5.45pm every day. There is a timetable of activities and families can pick and choose which part of the club to attend. Activities include arts, crafts, drama, yoga, football and much more.
Kanga accept childcare vouchers and tax free payments which reduce the cost by 20%.
For more information, to book your child onto a Kanga club and to see the most up to date timetable, please visit Kanga’s website.
Home Learning
We expect all children to read their school reading book (or library book in Key Stage 2) every evening.
We provide optional homework for Year 2 – Year 5. In order to prepare them for secondary school, Year 6 will also have additional maths and English homework.
We recommend Oak National Academy for extra home learning or if your child has to stay off school but is well enough to do some learning. Select your child’s year group and then choose a subject for a fun interactive video that aligns to our curriuclum.
