Design note 4 - what do we mean?

In addition to the similarities between our new icon and the real Northern Lights, we particularly liked some of the themes the Northern Lights icon represented, namely:

  • Uniqueness
  • Reaching for high standards
  • Our Trust on a journey to Remarkable
  • Whether you are a student, a teacher or a trusted partner, everyone is on a unique journey, one that will take them to new places and opportunities.

Design note 3 - a bold look

To complement our dynamic new Northern Lights icon, we needed a strong colour pallette and confident, contemporary font.
The contrasting yet complimentary colours in our logo symbolises our value of diversity and unity. We often talk about 'the same but different' at Beckfoot Trust to acknowledge that whilst we have a very clear One Trust identity and clarity on what remarkable means, we also know that one size does not always fit all. 

Design note 2 - our Northern Lights

Perhaps the most important part of our new Beckfoot Trust logo is the icon, shown to the right here.

We call it our Northern Lights.

In nature, the Northern Lights are seen as something unique and truly Remarkable that are associated with the North.

Our Northern Lights icon represents The Beckfoot Trust which is also on a constant journey to Remarkable and is strongly associated with the North of England.

As part of our ongoing Journey to Remarkable we felt it was important to give The Beckfoot Trust a strong, confident and contemporary logo and brand that was worthy of an organisation with such high standards and aspirations.

The new Trust logo was a departure from the previous logo style and was definitely designed with the future in mind.

Beckfoot Priestthorpe Welcomes Anna Dixon MP to Celebrate Free Breakfast Club

Beckfoot Priestthorpe Primary School were delighted to welcome Anna Dixon MP last week. as part of the government’s Plan for Change initiative, Beckfoot Priestthorpe are proud to be one of only a few selected to pilot Free Breakfast Clubs, designed to support families and give every child the best possible start to their school day.

During her visit, Anna met with Headteacher Christina Gunning and Deputy Headteacher Kate Cutting, to see firsthand the positive impact the new breakfast club is already having. Students enjoyed a healthy breakfast and took part in engaging, active sessions, a combination that helps children feel energised and ready to learn.

Anna said “It was brilliant to see students enjoying activities and games alongside a healthy breakfast to start their day.”

At Beckfoot Priestthorpe, this initiative reflects our mission: to create remarkable schools where no child is left behind. We are committed to removing barriers to learning and ensuring all children in Bradford have the chance to thrive.

We’re grateful to Anna Dixon MP for her visit, and to our dedicated team at Beckfoot Priestthorpe for making the Breakfast Club such a success. Together, we look forward to supporting even more families in the weeks and months ahead.
