Building Progress



Over the half term break the builders were busy working on the rendering outside the Year 2,3 and 4 classes. I am sure you'll agree it is a very smart finish.



More work has been done inside the building too. We are expecting to have our Art/DT room and music room finished very soon.

This is all good progress towards ensuring we have the very best building and resources from which we can provide the very best teaching for our children.

Pupil Progress - Coffee Morning 18th November

Dear Parents,

Our data pack from Ofsted has arrived and I am very pleased to tell you that it shows our Year 2 pupils did very well in their end of year assessments in June.  It also show that our Year 6 pupils made very good progress since  Year 2. I would like to share this data and more with you in further detail and explain how we will use it to inform planning for further school improvement.

I have booked the new studio room for Tuesday 18th November at 9.00 am for a Parent Group meeting. I look forward to seeing you there.

Best Wishes

New Website Sections

Dear Parents,

We have made several updates to the school website. There are now new sections with information about:

French
PE
The 2014 Curriculum

We also have a special section dedicated to Reading, our School Improvement Priority area for this year. This section also links to the Library. Your child can access our Junior Librarian progamme from here and review their library account.

My favourite update to the website is our link to a recording of our new Cabot Anthem. You can find it in the Performing Arts events section, or by clicking the link below.

PE Kits

Dear Parents,

I am pleased to share with you that we will be introducing a school PE kit. We will issue each child with their own PE kit and bag for them to keep it all in. The bags are colour coded for each class and pupils will be able to keep their bags as they move up the school. Look out for the letter this afternoon with further details.

Best Wishes

Music Week

Music week is going fantastically well. On Monday pupils worked with a group of musicians to to write and perform our own School Anthem. It sounds great! We will try to get a recording of it on the school website as soon as possible. This morning we have the Bristol Reggae Orchestra coming to support our singing assembly. Miss Heppner has done a fantastic job of organising some excellent music activities this week.

We have scheduled parent teacher meetings for Tuesday 4th and Wednesday 5th of November. Sign up sheets will be in classrooms from this Wednesday. Please sign up for an appointment time with your child's teacher. More details of how to access the building for the meetings will follow soon. The new building layout means there will be some changes from previous meeting nights.
