Dear Parents and Carers,
Please have a read of our new monitoring report, a copy of which has been sent home with your child
today. This has been published following a full day inspection visit to the school this week. We are
delighted that it recognises further improvement and I would like to thank all the staff for their hard work
and dedication in helping to achieve this.
Thank you for all your donations and to all the children who bought a red nose last Friday for Comic
Relief. We raised a fantastic £468. The best bit is, this Red Nose Day, the UK Government is going to
match all money raised by UK schools to help get 300,000 children in Africa into school and
education.
As part of their English topic, Year 6 have produced a fantastic cross section of The Titanic showing their
impressions of what it might have looked like inside. I was amazed at the detail they had included to
make this fascinating and eye-catching piece of work, which is currently displayed on our Upper Base
stairwell (see photos).
The VLE will be re-launched before the end of term. We will let you know as soon as it is available!
As we move into the Summer Term, girls will be able, if they wish, to wear a blue gingham summer dress
to school with white socks. We do have a variety of second hand dresses available from the school office
for sale at £2. Please call if you would like to look at the selection available.
Finally, a reminder that school finishes at 12.15pm prompt on
Friday 27th March (no lunches) for the Easter break and we
return to school on Monday 13th April. All of Mrs Wilson’s and Mr
Allen’s after school clubs are now finished for this term but look
out for the new sports club letters in your child’s book bag early
next week which will give details of all the
summer clubs on offer. Please return the
signing up slips to the office as soon as
possible.
Best wishes,
Mrs Johnson
This week’s prayer is from Tigers Class (Year 4):
Dear heavenly Father,

Thank you for giving us the brilliant lives we have.
Thank you for our families because they keep us safe from danger.
Amen.
