Headteacher Message
It has been a busy couple of weeks with two class assemblies, well done to all the children involved in these, the amount they have learnt since September always surprises me! The year 5/6 boys had a friendly game of football against Little Waltham, some of our Year 1 children attended the Teddy Lympics and some of the year 3/4 children represented the school at the Falcon Bowls Club. Please see the news items below for more pictures and information. Whenever the children represent the school, I’m always impressed with how they demonstrate the ASPIRE values. Thank you to the staff and volunteers that make these events possible.
KS1 SATS changes
KS1 SATs are now optional so if you are a parent/carer of a child who is currently in year 2 we would like to invite you to a meeting at 3:30pm on Tuesday 16th January. During this meeting, we will share more information about how we plan to assess your child/ren next year.
Headteacher Meeting
Thank you to those who were able to attend the afternoon tea with me before half term. As promised, I have put the slides on the website for everyone to view Headteacher Meeting Slides
During the meeting, I shared the results of the recent swimming survey. As you can see from below, the voucher scheme was the most popular, although not by a huge percentage. We will therefore investigate the voucher scheme further but continue to peruse a workable and affordable option for swimming lessons during school time. I will update you more when I have some firm news to share.
Reminders
The Christingle service is on Sunday 3rd December at 11am, please bring your oranges into school on Thursday 30th ready to decorate.
FOGWS Christmas Bazaar on Friday 1st December. Please come in to school in non- uniform in exchange for a tombola prize.
It is really busy in school this time of year so please keep regular checks on the school calendar so you don’t miss anything.
Have a lovely weekend everyone!
Mrs Brooks
