OFSTED

As many of you are aware we had Ofsted inspectors in school last Wednesday and Thursday. Under the new inspection framework introduced in September 2009 the process is very rigorous and heavily evidence based. As I write this newsletter we await a draft copy of our report.

SIAS inspection

We also have a section 48 inspection, which looks at our values and ethos as a church school. This inspection was today, Friday 25^th June.

When we get our final inspection reports a summary will be sent home with the children.

Puppet making workshop

Next Wednesday morning we have Dragons Mouth Theatre in school working with the children to make puppets and then present them in a puppet show. Each child will be making a puppet and will be able to bring the finished product home.

The PTA is paying towards the cost of the sessions and we please ask a voluntary contribution of £1.50 per first child and £1.00 for siblings.

The children in KS2 will be making puppets based on the Egyptians and our younger pupils’ toy themed puppets.
