School Council Elections

From Wednesday 7th September School Council Application forms will be available for pupils to take and complete. This year we are also looking for pupils who will want to take on the additional role of Minister. We will be holding elections on Tuesday 20th September for the following positions:

From September, we will trial what we hope will be a more effective way of starting the school day.

Entry on to the playground will be from 8.45am. Children are not supervised before 8.45am therefore for health and safety reasons if your child arrives before 8.45am, they must be accompanied by an adult.

At 8.50am, the first bell will ring and our 4 entry doors will open for children to start coming into school. Staff will supervise each entry until 8.55am when a second bell will ring to signal the start of registration.

On arrival into school, children will be asked to begin their first morning task.  It is important that pupils are ready to start the school day on time and are settled. For pupils in years 1- 2 we will encourage them to come into their class independently. Whereas in years 3-6 we expect all pupils to enter class on time and by themselves.

We hope by having a gradual arrival, parents with more than one child will have more flexibility in ensuring their children are happy and in school. Also it will prevent parents from having to wait around on the playground which in turn will help with parking and road congestion.

If parents need to see a member of staff, please either see them before the first bell at 8.50am or come to the office where either I or Mrs Hackett will be available.

On the occasions when it is raining, the main key stage 2 entry door will open at 8.45am to allow for pupils in year 1-6 to come into school. Only pupils in Reception will continue to use their entry door.

Reports 2016

This year there is a new reporting format, which has been redesigned to reflect the new curriculum being taught and the new reporting requirements, where your child is assessed as either meeting curriculum expectations for their age or working towards curriculum expectations for their age.

To help you make sense of the changes please refer to the codes below:

What does E/D/S mean?

In each year group pupils could be Emerging (E) Developing (D) or Secure (S). This refers to the amount of objectives they have achieved. 

E = 33% objectives achieved

D = 34% - 66% objectives achieved

S = 67% - 100% objectives achieved

Example:  Y4S  means 'Year 4 Secure' 

What does Progress mean?

Depending on your child's starting and end point will depend on the amount of progress they have made. 

A = Outstanding and Well above Expected

B = Very Good and above expected

C = Expected

D = Slightly below expected

E = Well below expected

What does Effort mean?

Depending on your child's approach to learning and involvement will depend on the effort score.

1= Outstanding and well above expected

2= Very Good and above expected

3= Expected

4 = Slightly below expected

5 = Well below expected

What does # mean?

# provides more detail relating to your child's attainment and depth of learning. For example a child may be secure at the end of year but have a #3 which shows they are above the expected standard. 

#1 - below expected standard

#2 - at standard

#3 - above expected standard

#4 - well above the expected standard

Wolverley Carnival - 2nd July

The annual Carnival in Wolverley takes place tomorrow and the children are very excited to either take part on the float, dance or just coming along to explore the stalls. 

Fingers crossed the weather is kind. 

We look forward to seeing as many of you tomorrow. 

Wolverley Secondary CE School 

This time of year is really important to Year 6 students who are allocated a place at Wolverley Secondary CE School in September and we want to make the transition process as smooth as possible for students. Our New Intake Evening last night was really successful; parents, carers and students feel reassured with the move to Wolverley.

The three transition days are Monday, 11^th to Wednesday, 13^th July 2016 from 8.40am until 3.10pm. Students will have an opportunity to spend time with their Head of College, Assistant Head of College, participate in some of our lessons and be introduced to the procedures of the school.

Students need to arrive promptly before the day starts at 8.40am; older students will meet them in the main playground and escort them to the hall. Students should arrive in their current school uniform and must bring a packed lunch or cash and a PE kit. We operate a cashless catering system and so, on the first day, they will have their finger print taken and be shown how to pay the cash into the machines to then be able to purchase refreshments.
