The Core Purpose - The Why

As a Beckfoot Trust school we believe that all children can, and it is our job to make sure they do. We believe that a shared body of knowledge is a human right, an entitlement; if our students do not have it, they will be reliant on those that do. We aim to develop an intrinsic deep love and enjoyment of learning and this in turn will lead to success.

At Beckfoot Oakbank, so that our students can have a great career and enjoy life, they must be taught subject-specific knowledge that takes them beyond their everyday experience. Our students come to our school with a wide variety of prior experiences.

A significant proportion of our children could be considered disadvantaged (SEN and PP numbers). Our aim is to ‘level the playing field’ (no child is left behind) so that all can enjoy, learn and succeed in life. We believe that curriculum planning and delivery is an ethical pursuit and is about achieving our mission and our school sentence.'
