Dear Parents,
We have come to the end of what has been a very busy spring term in school and now look forward to a few weeks respite before we return for an equally busy summer term.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for the support you give myself and the staff in school-I was able to get to speak to quite a few of you at the parents meetings earlier this week and really appreciate the positive feedback received.
The children have been on a number of exciting visits and taken part in sporting and academic competitions- for the most part very successfully. I feel I must mention our boys football team who have been unbeaten this year and so finished top of the league-No mean feat! Our netball team are so far unbeaten but have one more game to play-It would be great to do the double!
We are only a few weeks away from year 6 SATs which are scheduled to take place week beginning 13th May- however year 6 teachers assure me our pupils are ready and we are confident they will achieve well. Our year 2 pupils will be taking their SATs the following week -they are equally ready and we will ensure for both year groups they are as stress free as possible. Lots more visits are planned for the summer term which include Year 5 residential trip to Mersea, so lots to look forward to!

This week's attendance
Well done to Canada class who had the highest attendance in Y5&6 and overall at 98.6% . Germany and Greece tied for the highest attendance in LKS2 at 95.6% and Egypt had the highest attendance in KS1 at 96.1%. Well done to them!. The overall attendance was very disappointing at only 92.2% which is well below our target- but can be explained by the number of children who are not in school because they have Chicken Pox-I hope they are soon feeling better
Canada class retained top spot for attendance this term and for the year so far-Very well done to them. As recognition of their effort they will get another session at Jump Evolution.
Have a fabulous break and a Happy Easter.
We look forward to seeing everyone bright and early, and rested on Tuesday 30th April
Yours sincerely,
Mrs L Smith
Headteacher
