Barr Beacon School
Staff at Barr Beacon School work tirelessly to ensure that every child succeeds and achieves their potential. The teaching and support staff are led by strong leaders who are just as ambitious for the children who attend Barr Beacon School as their families are. We firmly believe that every child should have high aspirations and we work relentlessly to enable this for Barr Beacon’s pupils.
We have high expectation of our pupils from their conduct and behaviour in school and out in the community to the way that they wear their uniform with pride. Alongside this, we expect them to work hard to achieve success while enacting the Beacon Values. Parents choose Barr Beacon School for its values and determination for every child to succeed.
Barr Beacon School is a proud partner of Barr Beacon SCITT - a highly successful and ambitious School Centred Initial Teacher Training programme working with over 50 schools to offer primary and secondary training. Last year, 96% of BBSCITT's trainees successfully gained a position as an ECT, of which 76% were within the SCITT partnership.
In attending one of our school experience days, it is expected that you are currently considering applying to our SCITT.
About our school experience
- Details
-
Potential applicants who visit Barr Beacon School will be able to observe lessons and talk with teachers about training to be a teacher at Barr Beacon School and with Barr Beacon SCITT.
All potential applicants will meet with a SCITT leader to discuss training with Barr Beacon SCITT and understand the programme and the ITT curriculum in more detail.
We host these on specific days to ensure our availability. We will endeavour to allow you to observe your subject, however, depending on the classes available you may be observing teaching outside of your subject. This will still allow you to see what makes Barr Beacon School such a special place to train to be a teacher.
