Good afternoon It has been such a pleasure to see so many parents this week at our Learning Reviews.  The children are always proud to share their learning with you and the positive feedback is lovely to receive.  We have had parents cel

Good afternoon, It is hard to believe we are already at half-term, although I feel thankful for the lighter mornings as the term has progressed. We began the week with Goldfinch on a trip to The Living Rainforest.  They had a great da

Good afternoon,

It is hard to believe that we are already at the end of January.  We have had such a busy week full of great learning and enrichment.

I want to begin by congratulating our Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 gymnasts who represented the school on Monday at Pinewood gym.  It was a great opportunity to enjoy the facilities and perform alongside other schools.

Just two days later, we had the fantastic G-Live trip for Key Stage 2. We were delighted to provide the opportunity for them to see a live orchestra and the children came back full of excitement.

We are now finishing the week with a football match.  The boys worked hard in the rain and cold.  They were disappointed to lose 2-0 but proud to represent the school. Thank you Mr O'Reilly and to parents for their help.

Amongst all of this excitement, Mrs Wirth and I had the opportunity to meet with our School Improvement Officer.  It was a great opportunity to share the impact of our work as well as our plans for development going forwards.   This week, I have had many emails of thanks from parents.  These emails mean a great deal to the staff and I. I hope the staff are very proud of what is achieved each and every week.

I have been contacted this week by a member of Finchampstead Parish Council regarding the lack of a crossing outside of school. There is currently no designated crossing point between the school and Finchampstead Memorial Park / Village Playground, despite this route being used daily by pupils and families.

A local group is exploring whether there is community support for improving safety at this location. The survey here is intended to gather views only and does not represent a decision or commitment.  Please find a link to a Microsoft form which should only take a moment to complete with one question plus your name.  I will pass this information to the Parish Council.

I finish with the exciting news of next week's disco!  Thank you to FOFSA for organising it, so many children are looking forward to it and the staff, of course!

I wish you a lovely weekend

With kind regards
