All committee members and helpers are welcome to attend a short planning meeting on Monday 24th March at 2pm. All money raised will go towards an exciting climbing frame for the outdoor area.

A Reminder We have received numerous reports that adults are spitting in the school grounds. Please refrain from doing this.

Albert Hall A group of our children represented the school at the bi-annual Redbridge Choral Festival at the Albert Hall. This was a truly amazing            experience, with all Redbridge School choirs participating. I would like to thank Claire Frith, who organised this event and Kelly, Suntosh and Sonal who supported her. Well done to the following pupils for representing the school: Soumya Agrawal, Sindy Mikulecka, Anita Bushati, Ritika Bisht, Sabha Chaudhary, Chloe Carney, Manpreet Multani, Iram Lodhi, Riddhi Gadhvi, Janvi Parekh, Gursimran Kaur and Sana Hussain. Well done to all! Thanks also to the parents for supporting this event.

School Assessment of Teaching and Learning On the 27th and 28th March, we will be assessed for the Quality of Teaching and Learning by three external assessors, who will observe all classes and talk to pupils about their learning experiences at the school and their reading skills.

This assessment forms part of the school’s approach to its own self-evaluation and should inform all parents, pupils, governors and staff about our areas of strength and areas for development towards our journey to becoming an outstanding school.

A report will be published soon after.
