• Show Racism the Red Card

  Thu 10 Oct 2019 Mrs D Colley

  Next Friday, 18th October,  please allow your child to dress in red for this worthwhile cause. We will be talking about respect and tolerance for others and about how racist language and behaviour is never acceptable.

  A £1 donation to the charity will be  much appreciated.  Thank You.

• Harvest Contributions needed.

  Thu 10 Oct 2019 Mrs D Colley

  We would welcome any contributions of tinned and packet foods for our Harvest Collection next week. All of our collection goes to St. Michael's Food Bank and is given out to the families in our own community that may need a little extra help from time to time.

  Please send any donations into school with your child next week.

  Thank You.

• Head and Deputy Girls and Boys

  Wed 17 Jul 2019 Mrs . D. Colley

  Congratulations to our new Head and Deputy Girls and Boys that were appointed this week. They will take up post in September. They completed written application forms and attended an interview. The panel included a governor. The panel were very impressed with the children's confidence and maturity and the quality of their answers. It was a difficult decision but eventually the posts were offered to four of the pupils:

  Head Girl - Channel              Deputy Head Girl - Guryjot

  Head Boy - Casey                 Deputy Head Boy - Christopher

   

  We look forward to working closely with these children next year.

  Mon 10 Jun 2019 Mrs D Colley

  Congratulations and Thank you to everyone for supporting Pyjamarama by wearing their pyjamas on Friday and having 5 bedtime stories last week.  We have raised £282.10p for Book Trust. This will help to provide books for those that do not have access to quality books themselves.

  Well Done Woodgate!

• Attendance Update

  Mon 13 May 2019 Mrs D Colley

  Fantastic News!

  Whole school attendance is currently 96.1%. This is a wonderful achievement. Well done everyone. Keep up the high attendance rates through the summer term and we could achieve a record figure for our school.

• School update

  Fri 10 May 2019 Mrs D Colley

  It is hard to believe that we have only been back at school for 2 weeks. It has been very busy indeed:

  • The ducklings were hatched successfully in Year 4 and have now gone to their new home with Mrs Joseph one of our teaching assistants.
  • The contractors are working every night after the children have gone home and the new heating system is being gradually installed.  It will be wonderful to have a modern efficient heating system in school when the winter comes and the confidence that we will not lose any learning days due to heating failure or leaks.
  • Year 6 pupils will be taking their SATs tests next week. We wish them all the best of luck and hope that they can demonstrate the excellent progress they have made through their hard work and determination.
  • Our Ofsted inspection is imminent and we are looking forward to showing all of the improvements the school has made since the last inspection in February 2017.  You will of course be invited to share your views when the inspection takes place.
  • Summer term is going to be busy, look out for letters and messages  that will keep you informed of events and activities.

• Easter Trail

  Mon 01 Apr 2019 Mrs D Colley
  The children are finding out about The Easter Story through an interactive, multi sensory trail. They are collecting items that represent parts of the story. Ask them about it when they bring their bag home.
