Term l, Part ll

We started back on Monday 5th November and are new heading towards our Christmas celebrations in December. The Annual Christams Dinner will be on Thursday 20th December and the entertainment has already been booked. Term ends at 1pm on Friday 21st December. In the last week there will be two reward trips to Megazone (Derby), one for each Key Stage. During this term the Parent Survey questionaires will be sent out. It is hoped that all parents will return these to the school office by Friday 7th December. If you do not receive a copy they can be obtained by ringing the school office or downloaded from here. They are also available in the ‘download’ section of this website. All parents who return their forms will earn their child 100 extra bonus points and be entered in a prize draw. More details to follow.

Our Residential Provision was inspected back in January, and the report from this is now available on-line from the Ofsted website. You can reach this by following the Ofsted link on the Parent Info drop down menu. The overall judgement was again ‘GOOD’ with ‘OUTSTANDING’ for ‘How well children are helped and protected’.

Reminder about School Uniform – There is Pupil Premium funding available for uniform. Please get in touch with the office if your son is growing out of their uniform. The Uniform checklist is on the PARENT INFO drop-down menu.
