Parents/Carers Coffee Mornings, Events and Workshops

Our Beech Hill coffee mornings as well as other parent events and workshops are a great way to meet other parents and carers, engage with members of the school community and gain more information about specific topics as well as celebrate special events.

Feedback from those who have attended our coffee mornings, events and workshops has been very positive and we are pleased that the numbers who attend continue to grow.  If you have any suggestions of what you would like to see being covered at future events, please get in touch by emailing [email protected]

Year 3 Parent Lunch – January 2025

A huge thank you to all the year 3 parents who came into school to have lunch with their child. It was such a wonderful experience for the children to spend the time with their families in school and to quiz them on our sticky knowledge.  We are looking forward to seeing our year 4 children and their families at our next parent lunch in February.


Phonics Workshop – January 2025

It was lovely having parents and their children in school for an informative phonics workshop. The children enjoyed playing a range of phonics activities alongside their parents and showing them how we use the RWI scheme to support their reading. We are passionate about ensuring every child learns to read at Beech Hill so please get in touch with your teacher if you would like to know how you can support your child at home or if you have any questions.  Please use this link to access the information pack that was shared at the event.
