 I would also like to take this opportunity to thank those of you who have taken the time to respond to the recent parent survey and using your input and discussion with pupils and staff, we have identified the following as key areas for improvement next year:
·         To continue our work on raising achievement of children at all levels of ability through personalising their learning to meet individual needs.
·         To raise awareness of how children can manage their own safety both within school and outside.
·         To continue to raise the profile of the school by sharing its successes within Redbridge.
·         To ensure that all stakeholders adhere to our school values and contribute towards the school’s aim in achieving its goals.
·         To improve attendance.
Although we have had some challenges this year, we have made improvements in the following areas:
·         The progress of our pupils is the best we have ever had across the school.
·         The fantastic events jointly organised with the CFA, without whose support we would not have raised the much needed additional funds.
·         The exciting trips and school based learning activities to enhance the children experience.
·         Many great school performances which demonstrate the confidence that our children are gaining.
·         A stable and committed staff team and governing body.
·         Lastly, but not least, our wonderful children and parents, who support us in our endeavours.
I truly believe that we are on a journey together to guide and counsel our children towards successful future lives as responsible citizens.
Arrangements For September I would like to remind you that school begins on Thursday 5th September for all year groups 1 to 6. Please come to the playground, where the new teacher will be present to show you where to line up and collect your children from. Look out for the class names on the window panels to guide you with this.
Reception and Nursery will start on Monday 9th September, with Reception being mornings only. They should be taken and collected from the classroom door.
Attendance Well done to class who 6 Red who achieved 98% attendance! The overall percentage for the whole school was 93.4%.
Sports Day Reception classes had their Sports Day last Friday and I am now able to announce the overall winning team—congratulations to Yellow team!     
         
Glasbury Trip Our Year 6 pupils returned from Glasbury happy, safe and very tired. I would take this opportunity to thank Ian, Sheena, Rachel, Kelly and Harman for looking after them so well.
