Northborough School

Many thanks to all the staff who have worked really hard to organise these events which add so positively to the children’s experience at school.

We had some amazing experiences in our science week which included visits from Richard from Anglia Water who spent the day teaching Year 4 and Year 6 about the important work that Anglia Water do to provide clean water; Year 1 and 2 had a visit from Mr Raavji and the paramedics from the Air Ambulance; Foundation had a visit from Hannah, a veterinary nurse from Animates; Year 3 had a visit from Paul from Bug’s Life and Year 5 had a fab lesson with Mrs Bryant, a science teacher from AMVC. Every class experienced a fab planetarium session in the Wonderdome. Many thanks to all our providers – we were inspired by you all! Any visitor to school has commented on the positive atmosphere in the school, how hard the children are working and how eloquently the children discuss their learning. One of our governors, Lyndsey Taylor said: “I had a very positive visit to observe mathematics being taught within school. From early years throughout the school children were welcoming, polite and showed fantastic engagement with their work. Classrooms were calm and I observed a mix of both independent and collaborative working. The children were willing to share their knowledge and methodology relating to the task in hand, demonstrating a solid understanding.”

We are delighted that we now have a new PTFA team who have become fabulously involved in school life. We have loved resurrecting old traditions such as the Egg Hunt, which was made even more fun with the incentive of the chocolate eggs provided by them. A big thank you to you all.
