School Priorities As always we continue to strive towards further improvements
and higher attainment for our pupils.
With this in mind the focus remains on our 2 key priorities:
1)
High expectations for all, by
all, at all times.
2)
Achieve 100% Good / Outstanding
Teaching in all classes at all times.
Senior leaders continually
monitor the quality of teaching, so that the in class practice remains focussed
Winter Arts Competition As a school, we have always valued all subjects, and
celebrate the talents and achievements of our pupils in all areas. In our aim
to work towards Arts Mark Gold this year we are introducing an annual ‘Winter
Arts Competition’ by inviting schools in our existing partnership to participate
in a competitive event on 30th January 2015.
The items from each school, including Art, Dance and
Music will be judged by a panel of key individuals, including the Mayor of
Redbridge, The Chair of Governors of Cranbrook Primary, The Head of School
Improvement in Redbridge and a local Artiste.
More to follow in future newsletters.
Parent Questionnaire Feedback Thank you to all parents who responded to and completed the questionnaire.
In total 162 parents gave us their feedback, I am pleased to report that in
answer to all questions asked in the survey, the responses were in the main
very positive. However, there are a small number of parents who raised concerns
(ranging from 2 to 9 depending on the question). I would be very happy to meet
these parents to address the issues so that we improve our provision. Please
make an appointment via the school office.
·
Please remember that you can
also give your feedback through ‘Parent View’ on the OFSTED website.
As head teacher, I am always keen to hear what parents
consider to be the school’s strengths and the areas where we need to improve.
The main area that parents have said needs improving is the quantity of
homework given. However as a school we are in line with other community schools
and the DFE requirements, and feel strongly as a staff team, that children
should also enjoy free time.
CFA Meeting There will be a meeting on Wednesday 21st January 2015, at
9.15am in the Small Hall. I hope that you will be able to join us for this
meeting. We are also still looking for reps for each class. If your child has
nominated you for this position, you should have received a personal invitation
to the meeting. Come along and find out more about our plans for the remainder
of the year and share some new ideas with us for how we can work together to
raise additional funds for the school.
Fundraising for the Brain Appeal
We are supporting this appeal and would ask if you
have any unwanted gifts at home, to please bring them into the school
office to go towards a sale on Thursday
29th January from 3.30 to 4pm. We will also be having a raffle and some
food for sale, so please come along!
All proceeds go to The Brain
Appeal, which is a charity close to our hearts.
Raffle tickets will be priced £1

Humanities Resources We really
need to build up our classroom resources for
Humanities. If you have any items to donate to the school such as
globes, books, maps, atlases, or religious artefacts please bring them in.
