Family Engagement
At Beckfoot Trust we are committed to remarkable family engagement. We understand at Beckfoot Oakbank that there are two essential ingredients to support our family engagement strategy.
Respectful and trusting adult to adult relationships
As a big school, we work particularly hard on great communication. Although your request may be to speak with the Head, in most cases we will delegate your request to another trained Senior Leader. We will always return a general enquiry from families within 72 hours of receiving it.
If you have a safeguarding enquiry or emergency, please contact the reception team on 01535 210111 or [email protected]
