Curriculum Governors Committee Update

The Curriculum Governors met yesterday and were super impressed with the amount of work carried out by staff and pupils in such a short space of time since the start of the term.

A selection of KS 2 SEND mathematicians came to share their books and views on how they have started the year. They all love maths and their books looked amazing!

Governors were very impressed with the amount of work completed by the new music lead since she took up this role in September. They were excited to see the impact on the children’s enjoyment linked to music.

Governors approved the equality targets for 2023-2024 and encourage parents/carers to look at this on the website.

Governors had a detailed update from the SENDco and were impressed with the action plan and future plans around parental communication linked to SEND.

Y6 – The Wizard of Oz

We know that you will want to fully support your year 6 children who have worked so hard to learn their lines and bring you their wonderful performance. For this reason, we respectfully ask that parents do not bring young children to the play which will last for over an hour. We know that young children can distract the performers and make it difficult for their lines to be heard.

The evening performance at 6pm is now sold out.

There will be a collection at each performance to help raise money for the school to purchase a new maple tree to replace a tree that had to be removed due to disease.

Any donations will be gratefully received.

Thank you

Wizard of Oz – reserve tickets

Reserve tickets for the Wizard of Oz are now live on ParentPay. These are being sold on a first come first served basis. Please note, only one transaction can be made. There is no limit to how many tickets can be purchased. Once these are sold, we are unable to allocate any further spaces.

Year 6 Leavers Assembly

Year 6 Leavers Assembly

For their final farewell, year 6 will be hosting an awards ceremony, distributing awards to peers who they have voted for in class. The assembly will begin at 2.00pm and there will be an opportunity for photographs to be taken at the end. The children can bring in smart clothing (such as their prom outfit), if they wish to change into this before the event, however this is not compulsory.

We ask that no more than two adults per household attend to ensure there is enough room in the hall for every6one.

Thank you,

The Year 6 Team.

You have until midday tomorrow (13th) to order your tickets for the show. At this point, any left over tickets will be allocated to our reserve list.

Thank you

Governors involvement within school

Governors from the Finance & Personnel met yesterday and were thankful to a Grandma of a child in reception who came to talk through the induction process. She reflected positively in that the induction process is personal to each child. She felt the information she gained before her granddaughter started school was clear and concise.

A cross section of children came to talk to governors about their understanding of British values and the BeSMART code. Children could confidently articulate their understanding and how the values relate to their life, school and wider community.

Governors met with the After School Club lead and was reassured that the range of activities and snacks on offer is of high quality. Governors were happy that the After School Club with continue to facilitate trips and events in and outside of school. They approved more investment into new resources for the club.

Safeguarding, H&S Governors

Governors met with children and discussed their experiences regarding the recent Healthy Lifestyles Week.  It was very evident that the children thoroughly enjoyed the experiences. Governors questioned the learning outcomes of the event and were impressed with the children’s answers as to what they could improve on personally following the week and what they have learnt.

Governors approved and scrutinised a number of safeguarding policies. Governors carried out an audit and were again satisfied that their understanding about policies and procedures regarding safeguarding is robust.

Year 6 trip reminder

A polite reminder of the Year 6 trip to Telford Town Park tomorrow.

Please can all children wear school uniform, with trainers, as well as a water bottle and waterproof coat in their bags should the weather change. Lunch will be provided from Pizza Hut and so there is no need for a packed lunch, unless your child does not wish to have the food given.

Many thanks,

Year 6 team.
