Headteacher’s Welcome
Dear Families
This week we opened our doors to two important visitors from
the University of Warwick. We toured around the classes and
they were highly impressed with the behaviour, attitude to
learning and work. It is always a pleasure to show our success
with people how share our vision and goals.
We have also welcomed perspective parents to Enfield Heights
who were able to spend some time with myself, Miss Shah and
Miss McGhan learning about our wonderful school. If you know
of any parents looking for Reception 2016-2017 places please do
get them to contact the school to sign up for one of our open
days or have a 1:1 tour with Miss McGhan.
Thank you for your support with Sumdog - keep it up as it is
impacting enormous on our children’s attainment.
Wishing you a safe and cosy weekend.

This week Josiah (Year 2) produced some
excellent work in Science. The children were
investigating how to chew food, and how this
travels and is broken up by the digestive system.
The children were using excellent, high level
vocabulary to explain the different parts of the
digestive system. Well done to all of year 2…
there are definitely some budding scientists in
the making at EHA!
A huge well done to the Kestrels who have made a huge
jump this week and have now caught the Eagles up.
