OfSTED

As you all know, we have been visited this week by OfSTED. Three inspectors have been working within the school for the last two days to observe the school’s improvement journey. Your contributions and questionnaires have been seen by the inspectors, and were very much valued. Thank you all so much for your contribution.

We will let you know the result as soon as we have the report.

Playground

With the sunny weather (isn’t it brilliant?) many children are quite rightly riding bikes and scooters to school. In the interests of everyone’s safety, could I please ask you to observe the following two items.

1. Please could children and adults of all ages not ride bikes or scooters in the main playground or along the path.

2. When storing bikes and scooters in the bike shed, could learners and carers please take great care – we have had a couple of near misses recently.

Attendance

Attendance for term 4 was our highest so far at 92.9%. Miss Dark’s / Miss Wilkey’s class were the best attenders at 96.8%. We had 71 100% attenders for the term, which is one of our highest figures ever. We still all need to keep going on attendance – term 5 is so short, we could get 100 100%-ers! Let’s go for it.

Advance notice – Term 5 ends on May 27th. Term 6 – the final term this year (where did that go!) will start for learners on Tuesday 7th June.

Once again, a huge thank you for all your comments and questionnaires for the inspection – they really were a massive help.
