PE Days Spring 1

Hi all,

Just to let you know that PE days after Christmas will be on a Tuesday and Friday.

Mrs Stack’s class will start their 5 week block of swimming on the first day back (Tuesday 7th January 2025) and so will need to bring in their swimming costume each Tuesday during this time. Mr  McFarland’s class will just require PE kit as normal.

Many thanks

Mrs Stack

Last Week

Hi all,

Not many sleeps to go now!

Just a few reminders for this week:

Wednesday’s Christmas Event

The children can wear their Christmas jumpers all day on Wednesday, along with their PE kit please. Also, please remember to bring your mugs if you would like hot chocolate!

Friday – Last Day 

It is a dress down day on Friday and so the children are not required to come in uniform. We have lots of fun things planned during the day! For their party in the afternoon, the children are allowed to bring in a board game from home. However, please ensure that they do not bring any expensive or electrical items.

 

Thank you for all of your support at home. The children have worked so hard this term and we are extremely proud of them.

 

Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas break and a Happy new Year.

Mrs Stack and Mr McFarland

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. 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.

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

Finance & Personnel committee school involvement

The Finance and Personnel Committee met on Monday 2nd December. They carefully looked at the financial aspects of our school and supported in prioritising forthcoming necessary expenditure. This included spending linked to special educational needs support. The Governors enjoyed talking to a group of children who attend our Breakfast and Afterschool club provision. They were happy to hear that the children spoke positively about both offers. The children suggested that money should be spent on more lego and minifigures! This will be investigated! Donations are gratefully received!
