September Update
Late August and September is a very exciting and busy time in our school. Here are a few of the highlights:
Our Year 6 staff are being trained in using tablet technology to boost pupils’ numeracy thinking skills. Every Year 6 pupil will have a tablet and will use them to learn mathematics using the Singapore/Shanghai type approach to numeracy. We hope our pupils will have a fantastic learning experience.
Our school also gained highly prestigious Erasmus+ funding to promote science and mathematical learning in partnership with five other schools across Europe.
In addition, we are updating, in conjunction with our parents, key pastoral policies including Behaviour, Anti-Bullying and R.S.E. policies. Not a bad start to 2017/18!
