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.

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.
