Headteacher Message
KS2 SATs returned after an enforced absence in the academic years 2019-20 and 2020-21. The current Y6 children completed 6 separate tests this week across English and Maths and deserve huge credit for their positive and mature attitude over the 4 days. They certainly earned their sugary treats and rounders match on Thursday! Thanks to all the school staff and families for supporting them throughout their learning from YR until now. The results will be back in early July.
KS1 have their assessments next week. As with KS2 we do not make a 'big deal' of this. For Y2 children, this helps inform our teaching staff of the end of year assessment standards for the pupils.
We had one or two parents ask about the police presence this week outside the school gates - they were just conducting a safe parking / school run check. We always get at least one per year.
3PR, on Tuesday, was a tie between 4 classes - all with 100% - so thank you for parking considerately if you drive to school.
Each week the calendar keeps us all busy with events. We have some looming fast on the horizon that take a lot of planning - Isle of Wight Trip, Sports Day, Schools Gotta Dance to name a few. All events are listed on the calendar on the school website.
The Schools Gotta Dance performance is coming up soon, the children have been busy rehearsing their routine. They had a dress rehearsal today with Mrs Squier from Project Dance. Good luck for the performance!
Thanks to FOGWS for planning events for the summer term - today we have Family Bingo - good luck to all attending.
Finally, thanks to the very kind parent who assisted me in times of need. I was on a trail run last Saturday with two friends, and we entered local Public House expecting to buy refreshments with 'contactless' payment! The cash only policy could have seen us leave until the kind gesture!
Have a super weekend all.
Mr Burden
