Dear Parents Dear Parents,
So—what on earth was that all about? The 4 year ritual of desperately hoping that we might win the World Cup is over again and we all have the difficult task of returning back to normal and contemplating that we’re not as good as we thought we were! Hmph! We don’t want to be making the same mistakes here however and we continue to try to improve everything that we have to offer you and our children at Blandford St Mary Primary School. As always, your suggestions and feedback are always valued and as most of you know: my door is always open if you need to chat or share information or thoughts. Don’t forget that the office email address is an excellent way of keeping in touch too.
We recently had a visit from our School Improvement Partner whose job it is to support our school in moving forward. You may be interested to know that the visit was a huge success and that particular comment was made about the positive relationships between our children and the staff at the school. Brilliant. Please, please keep looking at the school website and do take part in the surveys that are available as your feedback is always very welcome. By the way—if you see Chad in Year 2—say Well Done! - as he is a champion at national level in grass-track biking—what a star!
