School Council Meeting

Following our Ofsted report, Mrs Foster met with the School Council today to find out children’s views about our School.  They had many positive things to say about what they enjoy about their lessons. This includes supporting each other if things are a bit tricky, the fun and practical lessons and adults ensuring everyone’s ideas are listened to. Some of the things they said they would like to do more of or change are: varying the timetable to include subject weeks e.g. art and science, more opportunities for older children to work alongside younger children and children having the opportunity to plan their own activities. One of the Year 6s asked if we could have suggestion boxes for the rest of the school to share their ideas so these will be introduced in Worship next week.

If your child has any ideas, please ask them to write it down and pop it in one of the suggestion boxes. Thank you for your continued support.

Parent Governor Election

Following last week’s recruitment procedures for a parent governor, the number of nominations received matched the number of vacancies so there is no need for a ballot. We are pleased to inform you that Mrs Caroline Bailey has been re-elected as a parent governor and we thank Caroline for giving up her time to take on this worthwhile and essential role.

Sickness Absence

Just a reminder that if your child is absent from school due to sickness or diarrhoea, they should not return to school until 48 hours after their last bout of illness.  Thank you.

Condover Payment

Please can all outstanding monies due for the forthcoming Year 3/4 visit to Condover be paid by the end of next week.  Medical forms will be sent out next week and a parent information meeting will be arranged for after the half-term break. Thank you.

Just a reminder that children in Years 3 and 4 will need to bring a coat to school on Monday 22nd January, as they have the first of their Stepping Out road safety sessions. Thank you.
