Reading! | 21 Sep 2021

Hello again everyone! I outlined our plans for School Development this year in my last post and as I told you, one of our biggest priorities is READING – we want to make sure that all our children learn to read quickly and fluently and most importantly, enjoy their reading. In our weekly reading assembly …

Welcome back everyone! | 17 Sep 2021

As we come to the end of our first full week back at school, I thought I’d make the very first post to the new ‘Heads Up’ section of our website made especially for myself (Mrs Finley) and Mrs Hodgson (my Co-Headteacher) to be able to communicate with our families through a method other than …

It does always seem to take a long time to get round to writing my blog! Must try harder! After sharing the outcomes from our recent parent consultation regarding communications with Parent Forum last week, I said I would communicate the decisions from the consultation with all parents through my blog and also on the …

Well – it’s time for another blog and as ever, I can hardly believe where the time has gone this school year. We’re at the half year point already and as I was saying to the children in assembly on Monday, our Reception children are not brand new anymore and our Year 6 children only …

I always seem to start these blogs by saying how quickly the time has gone by since I did the last one but it’s true! Hardly any time seems to have gone by and yet here we are well into the Summer term! Summer term and we’ve had glorious sunshine, rain, hail and snow today …

The time to blog seems to come around quicker and quicker each time. This half term seems to be speeding past – it’s almost half term already! The children are really enjoying our Outdoor Learning event today and thankfully we have some really lovely winter sunshine to make sure we don’t get too cold. There …

Headteacher’s Blog 20/11/15 | 20 Nov 2015

I did mean to update my blog just after half term but, as usual, busy school life has taken over and unbelievably we’re now into the 3rd week of the half term and Christmas is almost upon us! We’ve had a really positive start to the school year with lots of changes to assessment and …
