Dear Parents and Carers
Welcome to the last newsletter of this school year. The children have had another great year with lots of learning, achievement, fun and laughter. Can I thank you all for your hard work, friendship and support.
Success in 2021-22
Early Years Foundation Stage (Reception Outcomes):
This year’s Reception class had a really good year, with the number of children working at expected or above (Good Level of Development) having increased over previous years.
Year 1 Phonics
A very impressive 81% reached the expected level this year, which is in line with national results and means our children are ready to be even better readers in Year 2.
Year 2 Outcomes:
This group of children, who missed so much time in school in Reception and Year 2, made great progress in Year 2, leading to results we are very proud of. They did especially well in their writing.
Year 4 Tables Check:
This group did incredibly well on this new national test with 61% scoring 20/25 in this test. Many children scored almost full marks in this test.
Year 6 Outcomes:
We are incredibly proud of our children who achieved results in line with national standards in writing and reading and exceeded national results in maths and grammar and punctuation. We are especially proud that a fantastic 35% of our children achieved Greater Depth in reading - showing a big improvement on previous years.
Overall
Children in all year groups have done incredibly well and we are all very proud of their achievements.
Top Attenders 2021-22
Well done to these children who have achieved at least 99% attendance for the entire year: Taylor yr6, Justin yr6, Chris yr6, Fidel yr5, Merit yr5, Cheyenne yr5, Grace yr4, Abby yr3, Victor yr3, Lindsay yr3, Fritzie yr3, Ivan yr3, Ollie yr3 and Michelle yr1 - these children have received a £10 voucher.
And an even bigger well done to these two children who achieved 100% attendance: Manna yr2 and Daniella in Reception - these children have received a £10 voucher and a special 100% attendance badge.
Goodbye and Thank You
Sadly we will soon be saying goodbye to two valued members of the CTK team.
Mrs Wareham has done a great job teaching Reception and will be moving onto a new Nursery Teacher position in Clevedon. Mrs Meacham has amazingly served this school and community for the last 18 years. She has done a wonderful job as a teacher; especially supporting children with additional needs.
Children and staff will miss both greatly and we wish them all the best in the future.
Summer Reading Challenge
Last week the children had a special assembly from Bristol Libraries about the Summer Reading Challenge. This year's theme is ‘Gadgeteers’ and children who take part have the chance to win some great prizes through the local library.
