Reaching high for the best for your child

A key part of a school's Ofsted inspection are the views expressed by parents. Ofsted no longer sends out paper surveys and relies purely on views expressed through their Parent View website. 

As we come to the end of this school year, PLEASE could you take some time to click here and visit the Parent View website.

You just have to register quickly using an email address, and then there are 12 questions to answer. It takes 5 minutes!

Please make sure that YOUR views are represented - you can go back at any time to update your responses, if your views change.

Year 6 have done brilliantly in their SATs this year!

They have been working so hard and the test results have just come in...

For the full set of results, please go to our SATS page. They are a fantatstic set of results for the whole school - well done to all the children, and to the staff!

We like our children to have pride in their appearance and be proud to wear their school uniform.  Next term, we are introducing a new system to monitor uniform issues more rigorously.  A letter has been sent home with all children highlighting our uniform expectations from September 2013. You can also take a look at our Uniform section on the website.

We are so proud to announce that we raised a whopping £3331 on our recent NSPCC Sponsored Workout Day in June!

This is an incredible amount, so well done to all the children, parents and carers who worked so hard to raise all the money. Buddy (the full stop) came to school today to say a special thank you because this money will make big difference to help put a full stop to cruelty in children's lives.

He reminded us that if we are ever unhappy about anything, we can talk to a trusted adult about it or ring Childline 0800 1111 - or take a look at the their website www.childline.org.uk

Our recent survey asked what you thought about the introduction of a summer term parent consultation. The results were overwhelmingly positive, with 90% saying they thought it was a good thing:

Strongly agree    72.1%

Agree                  18.6%

Disagree                4.7%

Strongly disagree 4.7%

Thank you to the vast majority of parents/carers who attended the consultation. We also hope you liked the new reporting format - most parents are saying it is much more 'meaningful' than the old style of computer-generated reports. If you want to give us any feedback, please feel free to come along to the last Parent Forum of this term next Wednesday 17th July, in my office.

Please take a look at our Transition Policy - it tells you all the things we do to make sure that things go smoothly when children move from one year group to another, or join the school.
