PUPILS at Cabot Primary School are celebrating the opening of their new library.

The school in St Pauls has so far been without a dedicated library space, but now they have a new £35,000 facility housing story books, textbooks and iPads.

Gemma Davies, a reading recovery teacher, said: "This is a fantasticresource and opportunity for the children.

"Before we had the library, we had books in classrooms but no space for the children to go and read and research. It is brilliant to see it open.

"It has got brand new furniture, computers, places to sit and books for them, it's an amazing space. We are grateful to have it."

Around 190 children attend the school, which put aside part of its budget to turn the building into a library.

The school also has Reading Recovery teaching, an intervention scheme for children with reading difficulties.

Specially-trained teachers work with six-year-olds who are in the bottom 20 per cent of their class in terms of reading.

Library opening to pupils next week.

Our new library will be open to pupils from next week. We are so pleased that this fantastic new resource will very soon be used by children to support and enrich their learning in and reading and across the wider curriculum. As from next Tuesday, classes will have a weekly timetabled session with their class teacher and Miss Stevenson, our lead librarian. I am sure your children will be very excited to tell you all about how they are using the library.

At our next Headteacher and Parent Group meeting on Thursday October 2nd, we will include a tour of the new library before discussing our new assessment procedures to match the 2014 National Curriculum.

I hope to see you there.

Welcome Reception Pupils

Our Reception class was full of happy smiles from children, parents and staff this morning as we welcomed our new pupils to their first day at school. They are enjoying exploring their new learning environment and all the resources we have for them.

New Term

Dear Parents,

Welcome to Term 1 of the new academic year and welcome to our new entrance. 

I am sure you will have noticed the front of school looks very different now. After several years of thought and discussion it is very pleasing to see this phase of work almost complete. There are still some finishing touches needed but we are open for business and I now many of you have already been into the new office area to buy uniform and book bags. I have included a couple of other photos of what's inside. We have a new computer suite with enough space for whole classes to sit comfortably and a studio room which we hope to use for all kinds of performing arts learning.  I am sure your children will be very keen to tell you about the exciting learning using our new resources.

The children looked so smart in their uniforms. Thank you for all your extra effort in making sure they follow our new dress code. I have now doubt their smart approach to uniform will be reflected in their learning and behaviour.

Over the next few days you will receive information from your child's class teacher about working together to support their learning over the coming year.  In the meantime, if you have any questions or concerns please speak your child's teacher or arrange an appointment with me if necessary.

Best Wishes

Mr Burton
