Headteacher blog 26th January 2024
It has been such a stormy week and it has coincided with possibly the worst-ever attendance levels (other than in the pandemic): less than 90% all week with Y3 particularly severely affected by poorliness. Staff (and their own children) have been afflicted too, as have some other schools locally. The joys of winter-time!
I met with PTA representatives and went through more of their ambitious plans for the rest of the year. They have so many exciting events lined up, including the Camp-Over which I hope is in everyone’s diary for the weekend of 6th July. Most incredibly, the PTA are developing plans for a huge Colour Run for all the family on Saturday 27th April that already has over £000 of business sponsorship. This big event will take place on the school fields with lots of exciting obstacles and a messy fun. Please get this in your diary too!
This week we have been updating two online portfolios of work that support our teaching and learning in school. Whilst these represent ‘What a Good One Looks Like’ in the classroom rather than perfect published pieces, they are nevertheless interesting and impressive collections of work. If you would like a look, the KS2 art portfolio is here and the writing portfolio is here.
