I am delighted to present with this newsletter a copy of the OfSTED inspection report, following our visit two weeks ago. As you will see, they believe that Badock’s Wood no longer requires significant improvement, and has worked hard to improve since the last inspection. Thank you so much to everyone who contributed to the inspection process. At the back of the report is a letter just for the children, which you will find in every report. I will take time to share this with the children in Friday’s praise assembly, but would be most grateful if you shared it with the children at home.
Naturally, we are very pleased with the outcome, and feel it is a true and accurate reflection of the school. Nevertheless, we will work hard to continue to strive for high standards.
Should you wish to ask any questions, or would like anything cleared up, please don’t hesitate to come and see me.
Attendance
Even though OfSTED were impressed, term 5 has been our worst so far for attendance. I am meeting with the Education Welfare Officer early in term 6 when we will look at some of these issues. Please ensure your children are attending school regularly, or action will be taken.
Advance warning – Sports Day: Friday June 17th. Details to follow.
Finally, may I say to everyone – staff and governors included – have a wonderful, relaxing half term. School closes tomorrow for pupils, and reopens on Tuesday 7th June as normal. Although we have achieved good things this term, my aspiration is to achieve great things, and I’m sure we can do this in term 6, rounding off a brilliant year for everyone.
Have a great break.
