Sports days and end of term plays are in full swing and it seems the sun has decided to shine. Enjoy the last few weeks of term before the summer break.

Well done to all you year 6 students that have completed your sats tests. Now enjoy the half term break and then the last few weeks of your time at primary school.

With the longer days and sunny weather a few of my chickens have decided that they would rather find a cosy place in the shed to lay their eggs. So far I think we have found them all. However, my daughter watched the other day as a very bold and cheeky chicken squeezed through the netting into next door's garden. Someone will get a surprise!

KS2 Sats tests will commence the week commencing 13th May 2019. The tests will take place in the normal classroom environment. Sats tests will be taken in  Maths, Reading and SPaG under formal exam conditions.

Do you think taking a child out of school during term time will impact on their education?
