Red Nose Day 24.3.2017

Beaconside had a great Red Nose Day! The Coffee morning was a brilliant success as was the Red Nose Day sing during the afternoon.All we could see was a sea of red in hall.

Manchester United v Rostov UEFA Europa Round 16 Game 2 League16.3.2017

Beaconside School had another fantastic trip to the "Theatre of Dreams." Everyone had a superb night and all the children behaved incredibly, representing the school in an incredible light. It was great to see plenty of chanting and scarf waving in the stands from our cohort of Man Utd supporters!

It was gruelling viewing at times and United also endured the frustration of losing Pogba and Blind to injuries. However, all's well that ends well - they won thanks to a beautifully crafted goal by Mata and they are safely into the last eight of the Europa League, where no one will want to play them.

Again, a huge thank you goes out to all the staff who organised and supervised on the trip. Many thanks to the parents who helped with supervision too - we couldn't do it without you!

Manchester United V Hull City EFL Cup semi-final (Ist leg) 10.1.17

Beaconside enjoyed a successful trip to Old Trafford (Theatre of Dreams) to watch Manchester United take on Hull City in the EFL Cup semi-final. Despite it being cold wintry weather and a long journey to boot, the children who attended were superb! Everyone behaved incredibly well and represented the school in a brilliant manner, the singing was great to hear too. Children were both sensible and very well behaved. To see Manchester moving one step closer to obtaining their first piece of silverware under Murinho was a spectacle to behold for all who attended.

Many thanks goes out to all the staff who organised and supervised the trip. Also, the school would like to thank all the parents who attended for their support and assistance during the course of the evening! 

"And the Reds go marching on, on, on!"

Christmas Dinner 2016 - 7.12.16

Ullswater Community College Prize Day - 20.10.16

Beaconside Primary School was kindly invited to attend UCC Prize Day by Mr Pattinson (Headteacher). This is a huge date in the Colleges calendar which celebrates both academic and non-academic success. It was fantastic to see so many Beaconside alumni in their prize list. Every performance which unfolded during the ceremony had at least one Beaconside former pupil which further highlights the calibre of past Beaconside pupils. Furthermore, two Beaconside alumni were Head Boy (Fergus Vequery) and Head Girl (Amy Hullock), both highly respected positions in the colleges ranks. In addition to this, our pupils got to see the amazing Union J deliver an impromptu performance during their giving of prizes! A great ceremony was had by all and our Year 5 children represented the school brilliantly well setting a great example to all. Many thanks goes to Mr Pattinson for inviting our school to a very worthwhile and inspirational ceremony.

Road Safety Day (GIST HAULAGE) - 17 / 18.10.2016

Road safety day was a great success. Children were further informed of road safety and awareness by employees of GIST haulage. Children, like the adults, were amazed at how little HGV drivers can actually see out of a cab when in close proximity to people and other vehicles; highlighting the need for extra vigilance when near vehicles on the road. A very worthwhile and informative session indeed! 

Change Lives With Every Single Slice - Macmillan Coffee Morning 30.9.2016

The Macmillan coffee morning was a brilliant success. Both parents and children did a great deal of baking over the course of the week to ensure this morning was a success! A huge thank you goes out to everyone who baked and bought cakes supporting this fantastic charity. The school raised an amazing £454.70.

School Disco - Fundraiser for Mr Armstrong 21.9.16

On Wednesday 21^st September the PTA held a disco for all children to raise funds for PE teacher Mr Armstrong. Mr Armstrong works in school on behalf of his company 54◦ and provides PE lessons for children during PPA. Unfortunately, before the summer holidays, Mr Armstrong had a fire in his home and as a result lost some of his PE equipment. With the generous support of parents and children a great night was had by all and we were able to present Mr Armstrong with a cheque for £650. We hope that this will be useful to him and on behalf of the PTA thank everyone for their attendance and continued support.
