Staffordshire school pupils 'shine brightly' in nativity thanks to homebuilder

The school, located near Barratt and David Wilson Homes’ Bertelin Fields and The Catkins developments, is a brand-new, one-form entry primary school on the north side of Stafford.

It provides nurturing, transformative and inclusive education for its children and, this year, put on a show for parents with a festive production involving its children.

The contribution from Barratt and David Wilson Homes went towards the costumes for the show.

Rebecca Bell, Executive Headteacher at Beaconfields Primary School, said: “We are very grateful for the financial support that has been provided by Barratt and David Wilson Homes.

“Their donation has allowed us to purchase nativity costumes for our reception cohort, which will not only benefit this year’s pupils, but many to come.”

The theme of this year’s nativity is ‘Christmas Counts’, the message being that Christmas is important to everyone.

Christmas is a time when people can come together and remember the important people in their lives, and the production at the school gave families something to look forward to.

Rebecca added: “Our reception and nursery children perform with confidence and enthusiasm, ensuring that the production is enjoyed by all, combined with the cute factor. We know there won’t be a dry eye in the audience.

“Opening Beaconfields Primary School in September 2024 marked an exciting new chapter for our local community and The Creative Learning Partnership Trust.

“The modern, purpose-built school features spacious classrooms, great outdoor areas and state-of-the-art facilities designed to support our youngest learners.”

The vision of Beaconfields has always been for children and families to have a strong sense of belonging to the school, becoming a hub for both education and community activities.

Teachers and staff continue to work hard to create a supportive, inclusive environment where every child can thrive.
