Students and their Families
We have incredible students and families at Beddington Heights School. We celebrate a wonderful blend of cultures at our school: the majority of our students were born in Canada, but we have over 30 different languages represented in our student population.
A strong, core group of parent volunteers add great value to the lives of students and staff members alike. Our School Council is full of caring and supportive parents who are an active and integral part of our school culture. Although this group accomplishes so much, they always welcome more parents and community members to take on roles or simply attend the monthly meetings.
School Staff
Our school staff is characterized by a combination of experienced teachers and educational assistants and those who are relatively new to the profession. We are keenly focused on continuous improvement and professional learning for the purpose of enhancing student learning. This year our staff are focused on enhancing student learning in the areas of literacy, math and well-being. We are confident that the new resources and teaching practices being employed will benefit student learning and growth in all three areas.
School Culture
Those who visit our school comment on the friendly, positive tone in the school. Our students work to show the Pillars of Care as members of our learning community. Students are recognized when they show Care for Self, Care for Others and Care for Place. Our goal is to work with our families to ensure each student reaches their potential both as learners and as ethical citizens.
School Mission
The school mission is to develop the beliefs, strategies, and practices that empower all learners to become the best that they can be.

School Development Plan
Each year, our school prepares a development plan with input from teachers, school staff, students and parents. We review many sources of data, including report cards, provincial achievement test results and school surveys. Based on this information, we create our plan identifying targeted areas for growth. Our school development plan is not meant to represent all of the work that takes place in our school, but rather it focuses on specific areas for improvement.
