It was great to see so many of you at the Meet The Teacher evening today, I hope you picked up most of what you need to know as regards your child's new class for September. The children also spent some time this morning in their new classes to help them to prepare for September, and all seemed very positive about what lies ahead.
Don't forget the Talent Show tomorrow, if your child is taking part then please feel free to come along and watch from the gallery at 10.30am.
On Thursday we have the Leaver's Assembly at 10am, if your child is in Year 6 then come along and bring some tissues!

1000 hits!
Sorry, no prizes, but thought you'd like to know that the Blog just had its 1000th visitor.
A great way to communicate I think, please recommend it to others as a way of keeping up to date with what's going on at school.

What a week!
Haven't managed to post too much this week as it's been very hectic.
Would like to say a huge well done to our rounders teams who participated so well in the local tournament on Wednesday. Our 'A' team won the overall event, with Rohan winning an individual award for his excellent play, and Ahrizo picking up the fair play award. Our sporting excellence continues!
Also this week saw an amazing performance of The Wizard of Oz by the children of KS2.
Many parents commented that it was the best performance we have ever put on! It moved many to tears! A huge congratulations to all the children involved and especially Mrs Birch, Mrs Hatcher, Mrs Phillips and Mrs Roberston for all their wonderful effort. Thanks also to parents who helped with costumes, props etc.
One of our OFSTED inspectors 'popped in' to see the beginning of the play and ended up transfixed and stayed for the duration. She was immensely complimentary about the performance.
Speaking of OFSTED....
Our inspection is now over after two very intense days, which saw over 20 lesson observations, a number of interviews and much scrutiny of data, policies and procedures. The inspectors also spoke with many children during their visit and a number of parents.
The report should be published on the OFSTED site in around 4 weeks, and I am unable to divulge much about the outcome until then I'm afraid. It's worth mentioning that all of the children were wonderful and drew a great deal of praise from the inspection team- words such as 'amazing', 'delightful' and 'wonderful' were used to describe them!

OFSTED
Hello all,
Well we've been waiting for it since September and it finally arrived this morning, the call announcing our OFSTED inspection.
A team of 4 inspectors will be visiting the school this Thursday and Friday, and to be honest we are looking forward to showing them how much the school has improved since its previous inspection.
You will have received a Parent Questionnaire and Inspection Guidance, please take time to fill in the questionnaire and return in a sealed envelope before 1pm on Thursday, all returns are treated in the strictest confidence and will be handed directly to the inspection team to analyse.
Thanks
Leigh

Summer BBQ
Hope you can all make the PTA BBQ tomorrow at 6pm.
It's always a great family event and excellent fundraiser for the PTA.
All of our PTA have (as always) worked tirelessly to make the event a success, please come along and support.
There are some tickets left and these must be bought in advance at the school office.
Keep your fingers crossed that the rain holds off too!

Dressing Up (or down!) Day.
A reminder that tomorrow is a 'Wear-Your-Own-Clothes Day', all we ask is that each child brings in a bottle or some chocolates for the PTA BBQ on Friday.
I have reminded the children in assembly today that jewellery and make up are not permitted.
Thanks
