On Tuesday and Wednesday, we had our Ofsted inspection. The outcome of the inspection is still confidential until the final report is ready. This generally takes about 30 days. As soon as we have this, we will share it with you. Thank you to those parents who filled in the parent questionnaire and spoke to the Ofsted inspector in the playground. Many of the children also spoke to the inspector. We are incredibly proud of how the children spoke about their learning and were able to recall all their prior learning.
As you may be aware, homework is set on Google Classroom for all the children each Thursday. Children should have brought home a sheet containing their login details. If you do not have this, please ask your child’s teacher for a copy. Homework should be completed in the children’s homework books and returned to school on Tuesdays.
The home learning page on our website has some useful guides to getting started with Google Classroom.

It has been lovely having parents in for family Fridays. Every Friday from 8.45 – 9.15am, parents and carers from nursery to year 3 are invited in to spend some time in their child’s class.
It can be tricky deciding whether or not to keep your child off school when they are unwell.
It is fine to send your child to school with a minor cough or common cold. But if they have fever or a high temperature above 38oC, keep them off school until it goes away. If they are unwell for a couple of days, seek GP advice.
Each week, we will share the class, who has the highest attendance. This week, we want to celebrate 3S, who achieved 100%. A huge well done and keep up the excellent work; it has a great impact on learning and progress. At the end of the half term, the class with the highest attendance will receive a special reward.
