New to You Second Hand Uniform

Look out for our New to You second hand school uniform at consultation evenings and school events. Proceeds are donated to school funds. If you wish to donate old uniform which is in good condition, please drop it into reception between 7.30am and 5.00pm in a bag marked N2U.

Lost Property

All your child’s possessions, including clothing, should be named, in order to facilitate returning found articles. All lost property should be handed in at the SFO (Student Facilities Office) by reception. If a student loses any item they should ask at the SFO if it has been found. These are held until the end of term and then put on display for the students to reclaim. Anything unclaimed will then be donated to charity. Beckfoot School accepts no responsibility for the safety and security of your child’s possessions. With this in mind, please consider whether to allow your child to bring valuable items on site.
