Headteachers Update 19th November 2021

What an exciting day we all had yesterday! The children looked fantastic in their spotty outfits. We were inundated with cakes and treats, meaning we could raise an amazing amount of money for Children in Need (The grand total is overleaf). THANK YOU for your cakes and donations. The children had a great day in school as a result of it!

During today’s training day, staff are participating in a range of CPD and school improvement. A group of us have worked hard to improve our outdoor areas of provision by planning play opportunities that rotate across the week, we’ve improved our visual support available in the playground and shared core language for play opportunities in our playgrounds. Visit our twitter page to see our efforts, these include outdoor reading dens, construction areas, water & sand play and more!

Next week, Teachers will sit down with senior leaders to discuss your child’s progress in our Learner Achievement Meetings. This is part of our termly monitoring and informs discussions at Parent/Teacher consultations. You will receive a Christmas information pack shortly to give you more details on all things Christmas—to squeeze everything in, we’ve made further changes to our Parent’s evening dates.

On Friday 26th November, we will be celebrating Unison’s Stars in our School day! This is a celebration day to thank staff for their hard work and dedication. As part of these celebrations, we would like to give a raffle ticket to every member of our admin, kitchen staff, cleaners and teaching assistants team. If you would like to donate a raffle prize, please send it into school before Wednesday 24th November. On Monday, every child will come home with a ‘Star in my eyes’ star. I invite you to write a little message to an individual, group or whole school mention to give our support staff a big well done and thank you!
