Dear Parents,

We have just had a fantastic Science Week celebration assembly. Here are pictures of our Science Week certificate achievers. There's also a picture of Carlton with his fantastic working car. Well done all of you.

Dear Parents,

It was great to see so many of you at the parent meetings over the last two afternoons. Thank you for your kind feedback about how you feel the school is doing. It was pleasing to hear that you feel well informed about your children's progress. Remember you can register your feedback on the Parentview website.

Another website I would like to bring to your attention to is the Data Dashboard. It is a new website the government has introduced to give you more information about the school. As you will see, our results in Key Stage 1 compare very well to other schools locally and nationally. Our Key Stage 2 results are not quite there yet but we know with the improved teaching pupils are now receiving they will be very soon.
We have a great team of teachers across the school who are very well supported by teaching assistants and other adults all working to do the best for your children. Mr Ross, Miss Hunter and Miss Pearce will be coming in during the holidays to help support some of our Year 6 pupils with some additional tutoring before their Key Stage 2 SATs. With your ongoing support, Cabot will very soon be the great school this community deserves.

Don't forget, The Spring Fair will be taking place after school tomorrow. Look forward to seeing you all the and wishing you a happy holiday.

Ofsted Report

Dear Parents,

By now you will have had chance to read our latest Ofsted report. I am pleased they were able to identify the positive steps we have made towards becoming a good school. We know the school has been on an improvement journey for a few years now and we are starting to see the impact of our efforts in the children's learning and behaviour. We know our results for children lower down the school are some of the best in Bristol. We have not quite achieved the same levels in Key Stage 2 yet which is why Ofsted were unable to grade us as Good overall.  However, we know with the commitment and hard work of our skilled teachers, your children and you yourselves we will get there.

Thank you for your ongoing support. Have a good weekend.

Mr Burton
