We celebrated the achievements from our first half term of 2017 – 2018 on the final day of half term in October.
Children received behaviour certificates for outstanding behaviour across the half term. Swimming certificates were also handed out to pupils who had achieved their swimming award.
Well done for your achievements!
On Tuesday 3rd October we were inspected by Ofsted and I am very pleased to announce that we retained our grading of a good school.
All of our pupils work extremely hard and the staff are dedicated and committed to providing the highest standards for our children.
I hope you enjoy reading the letter I received from Claire Brown, Her Majesty’s Inspector, and I wish to say thank you to all the parents for their supportive comments.

What a fantastic Harvest Festival celebration day!
On Friday 13th October, our pupils took part in many different harvest activities throughout the school day. Parents and carers were invited to join their children for a special harvest lunch. Then parents joined their children in their classes to take part in Harvest craft activities. Finally we all walked to St Philip and St James’ church for our Harvest service.

Children from Class 2 attended the Year 3/4 Tag Rugby Festival at Parkside Academy on Thursday 19th October. They were put into two teams and played games against other schools in two sets. The children had lots of fun learning the rules and playing the games. Both teams played really well scoring touchdowns.

Key stage 2 children enjoyed a magical visit from Mr Delf of WSCC and his friend the nutty professor. They came to talk about choices. Mr Delf talked about personal choices including important choices like choosing your Secondary school. However, the children had lots of fun as the nutty professor kept catching them out with his magic tricks – no matter what choices they made.

Class 2’s assembly ‘was linked to their class reader ‘The Minpins by Roald Dahl’. In the book the main character, Little Billy, helps the Minpins defeat the terrible Gruncher by flying on the back of the swan. In the book there is mention of Cloudland. The children planned their own story about an adventure in Cloudland, they wrote descriptions about what they thought it would look like and then created a description of their own monster. They then wrote their stories which they read out in assembly.

On Monday 25th September we had a visitor from the Woodland Trust visit our school to give our pupils in Key Stage 1 and 2 an assembly about the impact they, individually and as a school, can have on the environment. The children listened carefully to a story about planting trees and woodland.
Our ‘Green Leaders’ group are looking forward to working towards achieving the ‘Green Tree Schools Award’ this year (run by the Woodland Trust).
