Dear Parents/Carers,

Section 48 Inspection 

Back in February the school was visited by inspectors looking at Religious Education and the Catholic life of the school. Overall Effectiveness of the school was judged to be Good. Well done to all involved in the school community for achieving this positive result. There are many highlights in the report, but we are especially proud of the comments from the parent questionnaires.

There were 140 parental questionnaires received.  All were positive about the school and their children’s education.  Some typical responses included:

‘The school is promoting values that I would like my children to live by. The school is exceptionally helpful and supportive’.

‘The school supports each child to become an engaged and curious learner and confident’.

‘The school provides opportunities for my child to develop spiritually’.

‘All of the teachers go out of their way to help each child reach their goal’.

‘Very grateful to all staff for the atmosphere and environment they create through their faith’.

‘I liked the atmosphere when I walked in the first time’.

‘Teacher and pupil relationships, kind and supportive staff’.

We thank you all for your support. A copy of this report will be sent home with a paper copy today.

School Uniform Reminder

A reminder that children should not be wearing leggings or tracksuit bottoms.  Earrings can be worn as long as they are just simple stud earrings.  Thank you.

Attendance 

Great attendance this week. Well done to the following classes who had attendance at over 97%:

  • Year 4 = 99%

This means that Year 4 & 5 will have non uniform on Friday 29th March 2019.
