Don’t forget to come along to the Ofsted review meeting which is coming up.
On Wednesday 10 July at 5pm, we invite you to school to reflect on our recent Ofsted inspection.
We’re delighted to have been judged as ‘good’ in all areas.
The meeting is an opportunity to reflect on the inspection. We’ll talk briefly about the inspection, we’ll talk about the next steps for us as a school, and you’ll have time to ask us any specific questions about the inspection report, or let us know any comments or concerns.
On the same day, teachers are available from 3.30pm to 5.00pm to talk through the end-of-year report your child will have brought home – why not pop along for that and stay for the Ofsted meeting?
The annual survey is now closed
Thanks to all parents / carers who completed an annual survey. The deadline for this was yesterday. School leaders will now start looking through the feedback and this will help tell us how we can keep getting better and better.
We can’t guarantee to meet the needs and wants of every parent / carer, but we do assure you that we consider all the points raised and aim to act on specific points that are raised by many, or a useful idea raised by just a few.
Last year, based on your feedback, for example, we changed how we update you about your child’s progress so that you get five updates over the year: a parent-teacher consultation in Autumn 1 and Spring 1; a Learning Update ‘mini-report’ in Autumn 2 and Spring 2; and a final end-of-year report in Summer 2.
We’re looking forward to reading your views.
Today’s the day the teddy bears had their picnic!
The rain didn’t put us off! After enjoying our class novel so much, we had a Teddy Bear’s Picnic to celebrate. Teddy Robinson (our class novel text) would’ve been proud. We moved the tables and chairs and had our picnic inside.
Living and Learning- I listen to, share with and include others.
Throughout the week we have been mindful of how harmonious life is when we all listen to, share with and include others.

Spelling Activity
This week’s spelling activity is to discuss and complete a range of practice questions involving prefixes (a part of a word that attaches to the beginning of a word to change the meaning e.g. un, dis, mis, re, auto, inter). Some of the questions require a suffix ( a part of a word that attaches to the end of a word to change the meaning, or add to its meaning e.g. ly, ing, ed, est).
Please see the attached sheet in your children’s homework books.
