• Year 1 phonics screening results

  Wed 29 Jun 2016

   

  I am pleased to report that our children have done incredibly well in the phonics assessment in Year 1 with 80% of children meeting the expected standard.  This is above the national data for 2015 and represents outstanding progress from their starting points in Year R.  It is a measure of the great teaching in Early Years, the work we have done to improve transition into Year 1 and the fantastic teaching they have had under Mr Sharpe's leadership.  Thank you to our parents who have supported by attending workshops, playing phonics games sent home and coming to the information sessions.  Individual pupil data will be reported at the end of term.

• WhatsApp 16+ age rating

  Mon 20 Jun 2016

  https://www.net-aware.org.uk/networks/whatsapp/

   

  We have become aware of some inappropriate comments between children using WhatsAPP messaging out of school.  WhatsApp's own guidance is that it is only suitable for age 16+ which is illustrated by the upset caused to much younger children using it.  There are many benefits to social media but it must be used appropriately.  Please see Mr Clayson if you would like any advice.
