Briar Rose Eldwick Primary School Is there much Bullying at Beckfoot and do the teachers do anything about it?
Hey Briar Rose! Its poppycat going to answer your question.
The answer is no there is hardly ANY bullying at this school! Theres a few petty fights over things and sometimes friends fall out but thats just nature. If there WAS any bullying then the school would sort it out immediatly. And you are sent to a room to talk it out and if it had got really bad then people would get detentions and stuff.
I hope that answered your question Briar rose!

will the lessons be really hard?
hi i'm cutekitten
Most lesson are really easy but if you find something slightly challenging or too easy you will be moved to an appropriate group sutable for you. When you go to your upper school you will be given your timetalbe and teachers will put you in groups they think you should be in based on your primary school SATS results. Theres always teachers and your friends that can help you if you ask them for help so you won't need to worrie about it.

Parents - what would we do without you?
answer from mrs a ...we have had an interesting question this week, wondering whether parents can ask questions through the blog... to which we have of course answered..YES! This blog started as a way of helping remove the fear of moving from primary to secondary and started out as a safe means of students being able to ask each other questions about things they were worried about. It was also meant to be a way of sharing and getting a snapshot of the life of a Beckfoot student. Those of you reading this and the blogs of our students will know it has grown over the last term and a half and taken on a life of it's own. I love reading our students view of things and I especially like their quirky humour. I also like the fact they can write what they want... in the way that they want.( hence the 'interesting' spellings). In amongst all this are... worried, hardworking and tired parents. The transition from primary to secondary can also mean a lack of understanding of what is happening in their child's life. Local small, friendly schools where people gossip at the gate... being aware of everything that is going on in your child's life... as you take them to and from school, meeting their teacher, sometimes daily and then... a new unfamiliar situation where a bus carries them off to a far away school with different teachers, heads of key stage, heads of year, learning mentors, PACT teams and then the form tutor - all very confusing... and yes I know that some of these roles are there in primary schools... but our school has 1,500 students, and nearly 200 staff... and most primaries are under 500. I know from personal experience I worried when each of my children went upto 'big school' and as the years have passed, how little real contact I have had with their teachers... and I think that is wrong. As I form tutor I see my role jointly with parents to support and guide students. All the parents of my tutor group and most of my exam classes have my school email address. There are several parents I have regular contact with and we share concerns and celebrate success. It makes us all one big family... and that's the way it should be. Students will be with us for 7 years, at least 25 hours per week for approx 36 weeks... it's a large chunk of someone's life. I still am in contact with many ex students and it is great hearing how they are getting on. So... yes please parents... we are here to help and answer your questions and smooth out any worries you may have. Teamwork is what it's all about.

priestthope If older people start beating me up what do I do?
Hi its poppycat. If you get bullied or get 'beaten up' you must go see a teacher. I know ABSOLUTELY EVERYONE says that but it really will help. At secondary school they take bullying alot more serioustly than at primary so you wont get shunned by the teachers. They will acctually DO something about it. There are lots of teachers at secondary school ready to help. You can ask pretty much anyone for help and you'll be shown all the teachers in the school on your first day.

Barbie priestthorpe Will anyone do anything to me like push me around or poke me or something like that?
Hi its poppycat. Hi barbie? Is that your real name?
Anyway things like this MIGHT happen and i mean MIGHT! Beckfoot has an EXTREMLEY low bullying level so its highly unlikely that you will be. If you do get bullied at this school you MUST go to see Mrs Sawley or Mr Horn. On your first day you will find out who these people are. And most of the other staff aswell.
As I said it is HIGHLEY unlikely that you will be. TA! TTFN!

Will anyone do anything to me like push me around or poke me or something like that?
Hi, from Spud
When the bell goes and you get out of lesson, everyone is going to be on the corridors. Obviously there will be people bumping into one another, you build up strong elbows! Nobody will purposely push or poke you, or else they get a code.
Bye Barbie

beckfoot I really think that making friends is inportant but what do you do when your friend turns against you and keeps changing and 1 day is your friend and the next day not. What do i do?? shall i stay friends?
Hi i'm poppycat. It sounds to me that this friend isn't being very nice at all. (I feel like an agony aunt!) LOL! Anyway if you really want to stay friends with this girl then make some other friends so if she isn't being your friend you can fall back on your other friends. If you decide you don't want to keep friends then talk to her and tell her. DONT just ignore her because things could go from bad to worst. I know iv've said this in nearly every blog but Mrs Sawley and Mrs Bradbury will help you. I think you should try to keep friends but if she continues to be horrible then break friends with her.

Do the big people flush your head in the toilets?
Hey I'm Fish & I'm Poppycat. No! That is just a load of rubbish! Everyone saya it and its on some t.v shows but it doesn't happen! Its just a rumour. We have a strict rule on bullying but if you do get bullied you can go and talk to Mrs Sawley or Mrs Bradbury about it and they will sort it out. Ok?
