Posted on: 31/03/2023A message from Carly EllisEaster is here! We have had an amazing term with lots of performances, class assemblies and sports tournaments. Well done to all those involved. As we said in the last newsletter, teachers will now be updating their dojo posts and the class website pages from now on. I have been busy looking at the responses from the parent survey, and although it seems like a while ago, I have put together a written summary which has been uploaded to Dojo. It provides findings and also explain how we are going to further improve our school. Your views are considered and acted upon so please do share these in future surveys or in passing. Thank you to parents and carers who are respecting our drive – it is hugely appreciated. Please be reassured that children’s best interests and safety are at the heart of all that we do. I hope everyone has a fabulous Easter break and I look forward to hearing all about the children’s adventures on their return (Tuesday 18th April). Categories: 1 CategorySchool News
Posted on: 3/03/2023A message from Carly EllisMarch already? It always surprises me how quickly the school year passes! We have spent much time since our inspection in November, reflecting on the comments made in the report and discussions that took place during the two days. We have made lots of positive changes in children’s wider development and have an established School Council Team as well as a Well-being Team – both of which were in their infancy when Ofsted visited. Mrs Fitzsimmons and Mrs Tanner are doing a great job at leading these teams. We are also looking at our curriculum and how we can enhance this further. In reflection to our recent Parent Survey, we have made many decisions which will improve our school further. Thank you to all the parents who completed the survey and left comments. The comments left, allow us to understand some of the outcomes more clearly, so thank you. We will send a comment out on Dojo shortly with all the survey findings and our actions to improve. However, seeing as I am writing in the newsletter, I would like to share the responses to the question, ‘Which of the following do you find the most useful methods of communication from school?’ 90% of parents said that they find Dojo the most useful method. Only 5% of parents have said that the monthly newsletter is a useful method of communication. We have had similar feedback for some time now and have persevered. However, in future, you will receive the monthly newsletter with all the information you would normally receive except the class information which will continue to be uploaded to Dojo and then placed on the class pages on the website. I am looking forward to all the Easter festivities which you will share with you are soon as they are confirmed. Categories: 1 CategorySchool News
Posted on: 9/12/2022A message from Carly EllisWow, what a term! We have so much to celebrate! As you are aware we received some great news from Ofsted. We are thrilled and I am very grateful for the team here at Priorswood. Their dedication and hard work has given the children a good foundation which they will build on in years to come. I am looking forward to driving further improvements. The school is in the best place it has been in for some time. We have also received some more good news. The Trust held a public speaking event for all the schools in the Trust to take part in. Each school sent three children to speak about the impact children have on our environment. Our school was represented by Lesley, Izaak and Dinara in Year 6. The children did so well that they won!! Huge congratulations to the three of them and to our school! All the hard work and focus on our oracy this term has paid off! We have also been competing in lots of sporting tournaments around town. Thank you to all the children who are representing us at these events. You are all doing us proud. Please keep safe in the lead up to Christmas and remember to wash those hands. There are a lot of bugs around at the moment and they are hitting us with vengeance! This is the last newsletter before we break up so I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a wonderful Christmas and a happy New Year. I’m looking forward to a healthier start to the Spring Term! #PriorsGoodCategories: 1 CategorySchool News
