Sports Days

The weather is absolutely playing havoc with all the sporting arrangements. As the District Sports were cancelled today and then re– scheduled for Tuesday, 17th July this clashed with our rearranged Sports Day. So, we have once again had to change the date to Monday 16th July at 1.15pm. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Fingers crossed that the sun will shine next week!

School meals

Finally we have been able to appoint a new cook and we warmly welcome
Angela Renals to our team. Already the wonderful smell of on site cooking wafting through the school makes us all feel hungry at lunchtime. The meals have greatly improved and our dinner numbers are definitely on the up. A new menu has been produced and will be circulated at the beginning of the Autumn term. Why not give them a try next term.

Class Organisation

We continuously monitor and tailor our classes to best meet the needs of the pupils so following much discussion with Governors, staff and parents next year the classes will be arranged as follows;
Class 1 - Reception and Y1 with Miss Bearns
Class 2 - Y2 and Y3 with Mrs Titcomb and Miss Curtis
Class 3 - Y4, Y5 and Y6 with Miss Henchley
Our classes remain comparatively small to many other schools and all classes will have additional support from HLTA`s ( Higher Level Teaching Assistant) and Teaching Assistants.

Class 3 refurbishment

During the holiday period the Class 3 classroom is being refurbished which will involve lowering the ceiling, redecoration and the installation of twelve computer stations to provide greater opportunities for developing ICT skills.

KS2 SAT results

The results are outstanding this year and a credit to all the hard work of pupils, staff and parents. The results were as follows:
English Level 4 100% Level 5 58%
Mathematics Level 4 91% Level 5 58%
Science Level 4 100% Level 5 66%
Level 4 is the expected attainment for Y6 pupils. Congratulations everyone and especially the pupils. We are very proud of you all.
