Parent View

Dear Parents/Carers,

I messaged out last week concerning the Parent View survey. Thank you so much to the 36 parents who have found the time to do this 5-minute survey. We really do appreciate it 😊.

As I said last week, we are very proud to deliver the highest quality of education for your child, along with offering them all of the additional experiences that we feel make our school so unique. We never become complacent and are always striving to further improve what we do.

The feedback we get from this survey is invaluable to us in knowing what we continue to do well and what, if anything needs a tweak!

If you are unsure about any of the questions, rather than clicking the ‘don’t know option’, please visit our school website to find out more information or ask a member of the team before completing the survey. Please also find attached a reminder of our feedback from our Parent Survey from the summer term.

Please let us know if you would prefer to complete this survey in school or if not, follow the link below.

Curriculum Governors Involvement in School

The Curriculum Committee Governors met on the 11th December 2024. The enjoyed listening to the Upper Phase Leader talk about her role and the impact she has across Year 5 & 6.

They viewed the new Pupil Premium Strategy and questioned the lead on expenditure and the impact expected over the year.

As ever, the Governors really enjoyed talking to the children about their learning. This time, the theme was Religious Education. The Governors agreed that the children all enjoy this subject and were able to confidently articulate their learning so far this year and from previous years.

Finally, the Governors spent time looking at parent and pupil voice information linked to our Breakfast and Afterschool club. Governors were reassured that the offer we have is robust and looked on favourably by both parents and children. During the next meeting Governors are going to look at our Science curriculum.

Parent View

Dear Parents/Carers,

As a school we are very proud to deliver the highest quality of education for your child, along with offering them all of the additional experiences that we feel make our school so unique. We never become complacent and are always striving to further improve what we do.

One of the many ways that you can support us is through completing the annual Ofsted questionnaire – ‘Parent View’. This would only take you five-minutes and would be invaluable to us in knowing what we continue to do well and what, if anything needs a tweak!

If you are unsure about any of the questions, rather than clicking the ‘don’t know option’, please visit our school website to find out more information or ask a member of the team before completing the survey.

Reading in Reception

The children in Reception have been working so hard and they are making great progress with their phonics and reading. Lots of children are now starting to bring home books/sheets to practise reading at home.

The phonics books that the children bring home need to be kept in their reading packs so they can be accessed at school each day, and swapped for new ones each week. Usually, book change takes place on a Friday, but this varies between groups depending on where they are up to in their sessions. These books are to be read to an adult, not independently. They are used to develop fluency. If the book is not returned to school, we cannot swap it for the next one. The blending books are particularly small and easy to lose, so keep an eye out as they slide out the packs. When children move onto Red books and higher, they will bring home two books, a bookbag book and a paper copy of the book they have read in class. Both these books need storing in their packs and returning to school each day to be swapped when ready.

Sound Blending Book 2 (Read Write Inc. Phonics): Amazon.co.uk: Archbold, Tim, Miskin, Ruth: 9780198424598: Books The bug (Red Ditty Book Bag Book 3) (Read Write Inc.

Thank you for your continued support,

Donations

Dear Parents/Carers,

Following the meeting that the Governors held with Breakfast Club/Afterschool club children, it came to light that the children would like more Lego /Minifigures to play with before and after school.

Since this meeting, we have looked and are rather astounded at the cost of such things now.

If you have children that have perhaps grown out of lego/minifigures, we would be happy to take them off your hands!

We are also after ‘small world’ items such as cars, farm animals, dolls, action figures, building blocks and push chair/prams.

If you can donate, please bring them along to the office.

Many thanks
