Today (Friday) was a very exciting day for some of our newest students, with their first transition visit for the midyear intake of Reception occurring. There will be transition visits on each Friday until the end of the term. Next term, we will welcome 14 new Reception students to our school across our mainstream and special options classes. We are very pleased to have many new families joining us and we are looking forward to welcoming them to our amazing school community.
On Monday this week, I had the opportunity to join 6 of our students on a webinar with our Chief Executive, Martin Westwell. We joined 172 other Department for Education schools online, with more than 1100 students participating. During this webinar, students were given an insight in to the new strategy for Public Education and we worked together to unpack what the areas of impact mean for us. More information about our new strategy for Public Education can be found at the following link.

Student reports are underway, with teachers finalising grades and comments in preparation for them to be shared with families on the last day of term. It will be important for you to take the time to read the mid-year reports with your child and talk about their learning. A highlight for me in the reports is always the student comment. It is lovely to read what the students have enjoyed about their first semester at school.
Reports will be sent home with families on the last day of term.
A quick reminder to check that your child's jumper and hat are labelled clearly with their name. It makes it much easier for us to return jumpers to their owner if they are named - especially on these frosty mornings.
