Headteacher Message
I wanted to begin by thanking you all for your kind words of encouragement during our recent Ofsted Inspection. Once the official report is published we can let you know the outcome so watch this space!
The children have had a busy couple of weeks, the girls are enjoying the football club on a Tuesday lunchtime and Years 5 and 6 took part in a football tournament at Great Baddow High School. We welcomed parents and carers from EYFS and KS1 into school on Wednesday so they could find out some more information about Anima Phonics, our new scheme, which the children are really enjoying.
To supplement the FOGWS second hand uniform sale we now have a permanent pre-loved selection of uniform for you to buy, in the reception area. All items are £1, and I think you’ll agree, it is a great way to recycle school uniform.
Important dates for next week:
Monday 10th October is the deadline to return your Cauliflower Cards
Monday 10th October is our KS1 SATs information evening, for parents/carers of children in Year 2, at 5pm followed by our KS2 SATs information evening, for parents/carers of children in Year 6, at 6pm. We look forward to welcoming many of you to these events.
Wednesday 12th October at 2pm, is our Harvest Festival, at the church. We are collecting for the Chelmsford foodbank so if you would like to donate anything please bring the items into school on Wednesday morning. The foodbank has put together a Harvest Shopping list which can be accessed by following the link below. Chelmsford Food Bank
Can you help?
We would really like to set up some more clubs, in particular gymnastics, gardening and choir. If you have any talents in this area, or know anybody that does, please let us know. These clubs could run during lunchtime, or after school and anyone involved would be subject to our usual safeguarding procedures.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and look forward to seeing you all next week.
Mrs Brooks
