Prue Wilson Society

Prue Wilson Society
This society, named after a former Headmistress, is open to all pupils, staff and friends of the school. A committee of Sixth Form Scholars and the Head Girl invites speakers on a range of topics of interest to address meetings of the Society. They are responsible for contact with the speaker, and arrangements for the meeting in which they act as hosts.

Parents are warmly invited to attend these talks, which are followed by light refreshments and a chance to speak to the guest speaker.

Beechwood scholars are expected to attend these events.




First Week of Term

To ease congestion in the School Car Park at the end of the school day, for the first week only of each term there will be a change to the timetable to allow parents to collect their children at different times.

Foundation & KS1 3.05 pm
KS2 3.35 pm
Senior 4.00 pm

After-school activities will begin on the second week of term.
