Feedback

Thank you to the people who took the opportunity to provide feedback on our school as we move into our next strategic planning cycle. Don’t worry - you haven’t missed your chance!

Here is your chance to respond to the feedback - just click here. If there are changes I will continue to update the graphics.


Teacher Only Day

On Friday, Teachers continued to work on the implementation of the new Maths Curriculum. Teachers started using the Oxford Maths platform this year and children have also been using some of the student workbooks to supplement what the Teachers are already using. 


Children and Teachers have enjoyed using the new resources, but the workbooks and online resources only cover approximately 50% of the Curriculum and the coverage varies from Year to Year. Thank you for your patience with the implementation - we are working hard to ensure that our high standards are maintained through the changes.
