Academy Council Pupil Voice – 20th November 2018

Today we had the pleasure of meeting with the school’s Mentors and Ambassadors from Year 6. We were interested to discuss with them the changes that they were aware of since becoming an Academy within the Shaw Trust, their interest in reading and their views on the current library provision, and the importance of online safety.

Academy Council Review (PE and Music)

During a Councillor review on PE and music I observed the children playing the Ukulele's which was a joy to see as they were practicing key skills such as eye hand co-ordination, working as a group and reading music together, whilst really enjoying themselves.  I also spoke to several of the children about PE. The children were very confident and honest in their replies.

Academy Councillor Breakfast Visit - March 26th 2018

A wonderful and informative breakfast visit spent at the school on Monday 26/03/18 by Academy Councillors.

The opportunity to visit and spend time in all the classrooms, where inspiring Fun Maths Activities were well underway, the children were all completely engaged and so enthusiastic with collaborative working observed in all age groups even down to the very young children in Reception.

The behaviour of children throughout the school was exemplary, children were impeccably well mannered, confident, respectful, articulate and so supportive of their peers.
