Dear Parents and Carers,

Ofsted Inspection

As you all know a team of Ofsted Inspectors visited the school this week. Can I thank all parents for your tremendous support and thank the children for being enthusiastic learners as always. We will publish inspection findings as soon as we are able.

Sun Protection
The weather is currently wonderful which means the children have been able to use the school field more often. We advise that all children have a sun hat in school at all times. If you wish your child to put on sun cream in school, we also advise they have this in school everyday, again clearly labelled with their name.

Big Jubilee Lunch and Dress Up

To celebrate the Queen’s Jubilee there will be a special lunch for the children on Wednesday 30^th May.  Also, on Friday 1^st June children can dress up in red, white and blue to celebrate the Jubilee.

Barton Fields Diamond Jubilee Celebrations

On Sunday 3^rd June from 12-4pm at Barton Fields, Duncombe Lane, Speedwell, there will be celebrations for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.  There will be stalls, food and drink, pony rides, 7-aside rugby and lots more.  There will be an unveiling of a plaque designating the area as a ‘Queen Elizabeth 2nd Field’.

Newsletter Language Translation

Translation for our newsletter is now available on our online Newsletter Blog in many different languages. Translation is also available on the School Blog.

Parents to read with Children

We are trying to organise a group of parents who will be able to come into school to read with children on a regular basis. We will be providing some simple training so that parents are familiar with the reading strategies taught in school and used by children. All regular volunteers will need to complete a CRB check, which will be paid for by the school. Please let Mrs Slade know if you are able to offer your help and when you are available.
