End of Term 6

Dear All,

I would like to thank all pupils, staff, parents and governors for ensuring we had such a positive Term 5. There were only 22 school days but we managed to achieve so much. There were visits to the Forest of Dean, meeting Jamie Oliver, DT Week and of course, the Year 6 SATs. So many pupils have shown such exemplary attitudes to their learning and have represented the school so proudly. This has only been possible thanks to the continued ongoing support of our whole learning community. Once again we have shown we live up to our Core Values of Partnership, Inclusion and Excellence.

Have a great holiday next week. We look forward to welcoming children back to Cabot on Tuesday 3rd of June for what I have no doubt will be a fantastic Term 6.

Best Wishes,

Mr Burton

Meeting Jamie Oliver

Dear Parents,

Four pupils from our School Council went to meet Jamie Oliver at his restaurant on Park Street. The children were given a tour around the restaurant, tasted some produce, ordered and ate a meal and then made pasta with Jamie! We were all very well looked after. Next week the rest of the School Council will go to the restaurant to take part in Jamie's Food Revolution Day. More details of the event can be found here:

We are very grateful to Jamie, Emily and all the staff who made us feel very welcome and looked after us so well.

10k run, for the Children's Hospital

Grand Appeal Logo



Dear Parents,

We have our regular team of runners entering the Bristol 10k again this year. On Sunday 11th May, Miss Cartlidge, Miss Pearce, Miss Hunter, Mrs Redwood, Mr Ross and myself will be proudly representing Cabot Primary School. This year we are raising money for Wallace and Gromit's Grand Appeal. This is a charity that raises money to support the Bristol Children's Hospital. Very recently, a child from Cabot was in the hospital. Both her and her family were well cared for and she is now back at school and enjoying her learning once again.
If you would like to make a donation you can get to our just giving page by clicking the link below.

Any friendly words of support or a wave on the day will also be warmly welcomed.

Best Wishes

Wagha border and Faisal Mosque Pakistan








Pakistan Visit, My welcome to Ayat Grammar School











Welcome Back to Cabot for Term 5

Dear Parents,

Welcome back to the new Term. I hope you were able to enjoy the weather and make the best of the sunshine. You may have noticed the building work has continued. We have entered the joining phase. The new section will soon be attached to the main building. This is causing us some disruption at the moment as the connection is being made through where the staff room and my office used to be. For Term 5 we have had to relocate the staffroom to the Community Room. We will still have PTFA meetings but they will take place in the school hall, or if the weather permits, outside! My temporary office is now by the main entrance gate, however, appointments to see me should still be made through the main school office.

Term 5 is a very important time for our Year 6 pupils. They will soon be taking their SATs. Miss Codling, Mr Ross and Mrs Redwood ran an Easter School through the holidays as additional support to help make sure children are supported as best as they can be.  We were so pleased to see 23 out of our 26 Year 6 pupils attend. I am very grateful to staff and parents in helping make sure pupils are well supported and prepared for their tests.

Many of you have been asking about my visit to Pakistan. I will post some pictures on this blog as soon as possible. But I can share with you now that I found it a fantastic experience and very much enjoyed meeting such friendly and welcoming people.

Best Wishes

Mr Burton
