End of June, July and September 2013

June 25th-26th

• We had a national school inspection, these happen approximately every 3 years.

Here are some things they said about us…

• In the Early Years classes, work builds well on children’s natural curiosity and helps them to

become confident and independent.

• The school has responded promptly to itschanging intake. Leaders ensure that pupilswith English as an additional language make

good progress.

• Parents and carers are very pleased with thework of the school and contribute well to its

success.

July

• We held a meeting for the new parents whose children would start school in September.

Picnic in the park

Home visits

• We found it really useful this year to visit each child in their own home before they started school.

• This gave us a chance to see how the child behaves in their familiar surroundings and gave the parent’s the opportunity to discuss any concerns and ask any questions they have about their child starting school.

• This is already having an impact with parent’s showing greater trust in us and children coming into school confidently.
