Headteachers Update 30th September 2022

I often say how proud I am to be the Headteacher of such a wonderful school but it’s always heartening when I receive feedback from others saying how amazing our children are, and over the last 2 weeks I’ve received plenty!  We have had 2 educational visits so far this half term and I received some lovely comments about our children and staff. Last week, it was from the team at PGL Caythorpe Court after our Year 6 children had a fabulous time on their residential trip. I was lucky to join them for a night and was so pleased with how they supported each other and demonstrated bags of resilience on some very challenging activities. Then we had a visitor from Ebor Academy observing maths lessons for a day with Mr. Lennon and Mr Unwin and she was very complementary about how  focussed the children were in lessons. And then earlier this week we welcomed another visitor looking at how we teach phonics and Early Reading and she commented on our highly committed and motivated staff. Keep up the good work everyone!

Next week is Cycle to School week, which is a week-long event where families are encouraged to try cycling and scooting to school.

It’s a great way to celebrate the vast benefits an active school run brings, including its positive impact on children’s health and wellbeing, local air quality and carbon emissions. Join us for Cycle to School Week from 3 to 7 October and help us use pedal power to get to school, but please  remember to get off as you come through the main gate to keep everyone safe.
