Beechwood Primary School

Welcome to

Beechwood Primary School

We place a firm emphasis on the importance of nurturing our children towards becoming confident, responsible, sociable, well-rounded individuals, ready for life in high school and as young adults in our community.

As you explore our website, we hope that you find this ethos reflected and enjoy the many different aspects our pupils' daily experience at Beechwood.

Cricket World Cup

We had a wonderful start to the 2nd half of Autumn term. We were lucky enough to have the ICC Cricket World Cup brought into school. Year 5 and 6 got to see the cup and have a photo taken with it. 

Foundation Stage Carnival

Our Reception and Nursery Classes had a wonderful day on Friday 11th October as they created their own mini carnival around school. This has been part of their work on Black History Month. The children made masks, created their own drums or shakers and came to school dressed in carnival clothes. 

Reception Drumming Workshop

As part of their work on Black History Month, Reception classes took part in a drumming workshop. Billy from Luton Music service came in and supported the children with drumming. 

2018-2019

Bluebell 'Messy Day'

Our Bluebell nursery children have had a wonderful time taking part in 'messy' activities for the end of term. The children have had a wonderful day and enjoyed all the activities. 

Beechwood E-safety film competition

At Beechwood, children in Years 4, 5 and 6 took part in the Childnet film competition. We did not win the national competition but picked our own first and second place winners. Look at the films below! Well done to all children on creating wonderful films to get the e-safety message out there. 

Reception Visited the farm

Reception classes had a great time at Mead open farm. The children learned how to look after the animals and how animals change as they grow. 

West Area Partnership Mental Mathematics Event

One child from each year group went to compete against children from Downside Primary School. Our children were amazing and had very impressive skills. The Year 1 and Year 2 children from Beechwood have made it through to the finals. The other heats were very close with our children only losing out by 1 point in some cases. Well done to all the children involved. 

Rolling Numbers

The whole school has been learning something new this term. We have been learning Rolling Numbers. The children learn to say or chant the multiples for each timestable to support them with their mental recall of times tabls facts. Watch the video below to see how it is done. 

Sports Days 2019

We had wonderful sports days this year. All year groups had a great time and we had a wonderful turn out of parents. 

Children return to school on Wednesday 24th April 2019. We hope all of our families have a wonderful holiday. 

Books a big hit in Belize!

As part of our West Area Partnership of schools, Beechwood took part in a project organised by Leagrave primary school. We sent books to a school in Belize. Look at the wonderful pictures below and read the lovely letter from the school.

Great Bookish Bake off

We held a competition at school leading up to World Book day. The winners were picked across the school by the Reading Rockstars in each year group. As a reward, the four winners were taken to Inspire FM to talk about their favourite book online. Some winners also recieved book prizes.

E-safety Week Compeition Winners

For e-safety week in February, children took part in a competition to design a new screen saver for the school ipads with an e-safety message. A winner was picked from each year group and the each recieved a computing book and an e-safety medal. Well one to everyone who took part. There were some excellent entries that really showed children e-safety understanding and artistic skills. 

Luton Library Theatre Jack and the Beanstalk Panto

Some of our children from across the school visited the Luton Library Theatre to watch the Panto. It was a wonderful production that both the children and the adults really enjoyed. If you are looking for a fun activity for the whole family, it is really worth a visit.
