Beckfoot Heaton is a mobile‑phone‑free school for pupils. Pupils are not permitted to use mobile phones, smart watches or similar devices during the school day. Where older pupils bring a phone for travel to and from school, it must be switched off and handed in at the school office on arrival and collected at the end of the day. The school does not accept responsibility for loss or damage. Any exceptions for medical or safeguarding reasons must be agreed in advance with the Headteacher.

This week Year 5 have begun to learn about their new topic, the Early Islamic Civilisation. They have created timelines showing key events in history and looked at maps to show the location of the spread of early Islam. Pupils are excited to learn more about Baghdad and the House of Wisdom. Year 5 have also been visited by a fabulous author and storyteller, Richard O’Neill, who talked to pupils about a love of reading, writing and about self-belief. We can’t wait to continue our work with Richard to publish our own book. Pupils are looking forward to creating their vision boards next week during aspiration week.
