SATs
Tests
Congratulations to our Year 6 pupils who
seem to have coped with their SATs very well during this week, there was an
audible sigh of relief at the end of the last test! Thank you to all members of
the Governing Body who have been in school frequently this week to help with
the administration of the SATs. A
reminder that tests continue into next week for many other year groups.

Walk to School Week
Walk to
School Week will take place from 15 – 20 May. We hope that many families will join
in with this initiative which is aimed at making a real difference to pupils’
health and happiness. In addition, participation will help to reduce congestion
and pollution at the school gates.
It is
recommended that children do at least 60 minutes of physical activity per day
in order to maintain their health. Walk to School Week, is a national programme
organised by Living Streets, the UK charity to promote everyday walking, and we
are pleased to promote our involvement in it.
