OFSTED UPDATE
As you will all be aware we had our Ofsted Inspection last week; we have been advised to inform parents that the outcome of the visit will be published after Easter in a full report. Thank you to those parents who contributed to the inspection either through the survey or through letters direct to the inspectors; they have looked at them all and considered them in their assessment. Any issues within them were passed on to the Senior Management team and Chair of Governors.
NO WEDNESDAY MUSIC LESSONS THIS WEEK
The County Music service are not teaching this week, so there will be no guitar, no clarinet with Mrs Rogers and no brass with Mr McDowell.
CROSS COUNTRY - POSTPONED
The Cross Country has been postponed until Wednesday 24 April due to the course being waterlogged at present.
EASTER READING COMPETITION
Where does your child like to read? In bed, on the sofa, in the car……..
Now is your chance to show everyone any of the places where you can catch your child reading. Simply take a picture of your child reading, print it off, write your child’s name and class on the reverse and bring it into school after the Easter holidays. Please hand it in at the office.
READ FOR MY SCHOOL
As you are probably aware, Year 5 and Year 6 have, over the last 2 months been taking part in a national reading initiative (‘Read for my School’).
Children have been encouraged to read a range of reading materials and record their responses. In total we have read an impressive 719 books. Special mention to Lily Constanti (NS) who read 86 books and Florrie Hulbert (NS) who read 83 books.
CAKE STALL – Thursday 28 March
Classes JC & KV will be busy baking Easter Cake Treats ready for Thursday’s cake stall on the front playground in the pavilion. Remember to bring some pocket money!
WE ARE NO LONGER COLLECTING INK CARTRIDGES FOR RECYCLING
We just wanted to let families know that we have stopped doing this now.
PARENT COUNCIL
The first ever Parent Council for our school has now been formed. Its aim is to meet every half term, allowing representatives from each class to meet with the Headteacher, governors and members of the Friends committee, to share information and strengthen communication between parents and the school. Most of our classes are now well represented on the council but we still have gaps in classes CH, KV and GAVR. If you would like to be involved and can spare a couple of hours each half term on a Thursday to meet, please contact the school. The Parent Council is planning a coffee morning early in the summer term, where you can learn more about the new council and meet the class representatives. More details to follow.
In the meantime, the minutes of the Parent Council meetings are available to view on the school website.
BAG2SCHOOL COLLECTION – Wednesday 24 April
Reminder from the Friends that if you are having a Spring clear-out over Easter, please bag up any clothes, bed-linen, textiles, bags, belts or shoes (paired please), that can be donated to the charity bag collection on Wednesday 24 April. All funds raised through this go to the Friends for the school. Thank you.
ADVANCE WARNING – SUMMER DISCO
The Friends do not usually run a Summer Disco as the children can get rather hot in the hall, however they have arranged one this year for Friday 17 May, so it should be cool enough!
