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!
