Hazelbeck

Welcome to the Hazelbeck School web pages, currently featured on the Beckfoot School website. I am very grateful to the Leadership of Beckfoot School who have facilitated these pages of information and I hope you will take a short while to read about the new special school to be co-located with Beckfoot School.

In December 2006 and January 2007 the new schools name was developed following consultation with all current special schools (staff and students) and the name Hazelbeck was one of several proposed. The Governors were able to make a shortlist of five suitable names with Hazelbeck being selected by an overwhelming number of votes submitted by the current special school communities, members of Beckfoot School community BMDC Councillors, staff assimilated at that point in time to the new school and professionals from partner agencies. The name Hazelbeck School, suggested by the community of Chapel Grange School, was formally adopted in January 2007.

Over the past few months the logo for the new school has now been developed with help from governors of Hazelbeck School, staff and pupils of current special schools and a professional design company.

These two activities, choosing a school name and a logo, have begun to breathe life into the new school, and together with the vision for Hazelbeck School are setting the way in which I wish to see the school develop as a vibrant, inclusive school community where all are valued and are able to succeed. I will leave you with the vision statement for the school, and an invitation to contribute your thoughts and ideas to the development of the new school by contacting me either via email: susanmaygill@yahoo.co.uk or at Beckfoot School.

Many thanks for taking the time to read our web pages,

Susan Gill
