Summer Fair
Key Stage 2 Summer Production
Thank you for all your support for the Summer Fair. Although it was on a smaller scale than last year we still managed to raise £913! Any ideas or offers of help to make next year even more successful will be greatly appreciated.
The Summer production ‘A Big Green Adventure’ was a great success with Year 6 taking the lead with the Key Stage 2 Choir. It was also the grand unveiling of our new stage curtains which were kindly donated by the Friends of Hatchell Wood.
Year 6 SATs Results We have had a very successful year in school this year when looking at the progress the children have made throughout the school. Although we were given a ‘requires improvement ‘ grading by Ofsted in the autumn we have finished the year with our best ever Key Stage 2 SATs results. This shows the amount of successful hard work the pupils and staff have put in over the last few years to get the children to where they are today.

Sports Days & Sports Week Thank you to all the parents and family who managed to make it to the sports days. We realised that it was going to be difficult for some parents to rearrange to come in the morning but with such hot weather the childrens’ health and safety had to come first. Many thanks to Mr Mark Huby from Total Finance Options for again donating the gold, silver and bronze medals. Also thanks to all the coaches and Mrs Davies for organising such a successful sports week again. Breakfast Club—Breakfast club will be continuing in September. The cost is £2 per day and includes cereal or toast and a drink plus activities for the children.
