Head of School Message

It has been a jam-packed final week of this half term and the staff and children are all ready for a break!

It has been lovely to see so many parents/carers in school for our parent drop-ins and to see the children’s PE dances this week. I hope you enjoyed looking at the work the children have done so far this year. I have been really impressed at some of the progress made by children over the last 8 weeks and it was lovely for teachers to be able to share that with you this week.

Spooky Disco

The first FOBs event of the year was a huge success! Thank you to all of the parent volunteers who made this wonderful event happen. The children had a fabulous time and raised over £340 for the school – money that will go directly towards resources to support teaching and learning. Thank you to our amazing community for making this happen.

Tag Rugby

A group of Year 5/6 children enjoyed a morning of Tag Rugby at the Corbet School in Baschurch. They had a brilliant time and demonstrated mature sportsmanship and teamwork. Well done everyone!

Dance Performances

Thank you to all the parents and carers who came to watch our PE dance performances. We were very proud of the children to perform so confidently in front of such a large audience and to show such great coordination in their routines.

Attendance and Punctuality

We have been delighted to see a huge improvement in attendance this half term (96.2%) compared to the same half term last academic year (93.8%).

We have also seen a significant reduction in lates from 137 in Autumn 1 last year, to 57 this year! This is a brilliant effort from everyone and we are very grateful for your support.
