  • Good improvements

    Thu 29 Nov 2018 Miss Bilton

    Recently we welcomed a team of advisors and consultants from the Local Authority School Improvement team to work with us to identify the improvements made in school over the last year. I am delighted that they identified many improvements and the pupils are making such good progress. The LA team agreed with all of our own judgements and highlighted many positives. They also agreed with the areas for further improvement that we had already identified as a Senior Leadership Team and Governors, so we know that we are targeting the correct priorities. 

    The written feedback from this visit will be with us soon so I will share this with you when it arrives, but in the meantime I would like to thank you all for your ongoing support for our lovely little school. With so many changes happening it has been a very busy year but the improvements now seen have made it all worthwhile. This has given us a renewed boost to push forward with our targets, as the focus still remains in providing the very best education possible for every child so we can enable them to achieve their potential.

    Please come to speak to me if you have any questions or suggestions regarding this.

    Thank you.

  • NUFC artist in school

    Wed 28 Nov 2018 Miss Bilton
    We are very excited to welcome the artist Jane Lee McCracken into school tomorrow to work with our Y5 pupils to create a t-shirt design based on Newcastle using biro. She is working in conjunction with NUFC and I am looking forward to seeing what our pupils can create. 
  • Help needed

    Wed 28 Nov 2018 Miss Bilton

    As a school we have lots of ideas for exciting events in the next few months and would love to have more things available at our fayres, however, we are limited by the number of helpers we have available. School staff need to be with the children for safeguarding purposes.

    If you are willing to help, even if just for one event or fayre, please get in touch with myself or any member of the PTA so that we can make our events bigger and better in the future. Thank you.

  • Christmas fayre thanks

    Wed 28 Nov 2018 Miss Bilton

    Thank you to everyone who came to our Christmas fayre this afternoon. We will announce how much money we raised once it has all been counted.

     

  • Christmas fayre today

    Wed 28 Nov 2018 Miss Bilton

    It is our Christmas Fayre today and we will be opening it to children and families from 2:30pm this afternoon.

     

    The reason for the earlier opening is to make sure all children in school are able to spend some time at the fayre before they go home, and to give families more time to enjoy it.

     

    If you would like to be able to come and collect your child from the following collection points at 2:30pm and enjoy the school fayre with them in our school hall and Y6 classroom, I would greatly appreciate it if you would complete the reply slip on the attached page so we can ensure all children are supervised and safe.  

     

    The arrangements are as follows:

     

    • Nursery and Reception from the EY quad at 2:30pm

    • Y1 & Y2 from the Y1 classroom fire door at 2:30pm

    • Y3 from their fire door exit as normal at 2:30pm

    • Y4, Y5 & Y6 from the KS2 exit door at 2:30pm

     

     

    • Children will only be handed over if the permission slip has been signed (class teachers will have a list)

     

    • Once you have collected your child, entry to the school fayre will be via the main reception door or the doors to the Y6 classroom (there will be people directing you)

     

    Your cooperation in following the arrangements is absolutely necessary to make sure all children are safe and supervised, and the fayre runs smoothly.

  • Children In Need Friday 16th November

    Wed 14 Nov 2018 Miss Bilton
    Can I please remind you that it is Children In Need on Friday 16th November. If children would like to attend school wearing spots or non-uniform on Friday they may do so, but please can I suggest a donation of £1 to the charity. Thank you.
  • Remembrance

    Mon 12 Nov 2018 Miss Bilton
    Thank you to everyone who bought poppies and other related items for remembrance. All money raised has been sent to the British Legion and as a community we have raised lots of money for this worthwhile cause. As a school we held a special assembly where we thought about the sacrifice made by the brave servicemen during World War 1, which ended 100 years ago this weekend. KS2 have also completed other work in school about World War 1 which helped everyone to understand the impact that this has had on our society today.
  • Children In Need - wear spots

    Mon 12 Nov 2018 Miss Bilton
    On Friday 16th November it is Children In Need day. This year the theme is to wear spots, so if your child would like to, they may wear spots to school on Friday for a suggested donation of £1. All money raised will be sent to the charity. Thank you for your support for this charity.
