Week Ending 08 February 2019
Payments
Please be aware
that with our conversion to the Acer Trust, cheques made out to OCC can no
longer be accepted by the school. Please make any cheques to school payable to:
Stadhampton Primary – Acer Trust. Thank you.
Update on Mrs Wahid
I have recently
been in contact with Mrs Wahid and I know colleagues, pupils and parents will
be keen to have an update. I understand that Mrs Wahid is responding to
treatment but the treatment remains on-going and we do not expect her to be
teaching in school before the end of the Spring Term. Mrs Bartlett and Mrs
Moore, ably assisted by Mrs Singleton, Mrs Ellis and Mrs Gravett, will continue
to teach Class 3 for the next half term. I’m sure the whole school community
join me in sending warm wishes and positive thoughts to Mrs Wahid.
New KS2 Class Teacher
We are delighted
to announce that we have appointed Mrs Nichola Moore as a class teacher at
Stadhampton School. Mrs Moore will be taking over the teaching of Class 2 following
Mrs Garrard’s retirement in April. I’m sure you will join me in welcoming Mrs
Moore as a permanent member of our staff team.

Notice of the Date for Work Viewing Evening
Parents will have an opportunity on Monday
11th March between 3.30pm and 6pm to see their child’s or children’s
work. The class teacher will be on hand in the classroom to answer any
questions you may have but no formal appointment system is in place for this
work viewing evening. Parents are warmly welcome to share this opportunity with
their children and we look forward to seeing you.
Year 6 Standard
Assessment Tests (SATs)
As
you may be aware, the Year 6
statutory Standard Assessment Tests (SATs) will take place the week beginning
13th May this year. To give children a better understanding of what
the actual SATs week will entail, we will be holding ‘Mock SATs’ over the
course of the first two weeks following half term. For your information,
please find below an outline of the timetable:|

focus on in preparation for the Statutory SATs this year.
Please
also note that there will be a meeting for Year 6 parents regarding SATs after
school on the 19th March in Class 3.
Parents Meeting, Wednesday 13th February
Thank you to everyone who came along
to the parents evening on Wednesday. It was a good turn out and
lovely to welcome new faces. The meeting was an opportunity for the
Governing Body (GB) to update on staffing and finance matters as well as
discuss the Acer Trust and what it means for our school.
We also kick-started a conversation
about wraparound care in the village, to consider what that might look like. This is an important project for the community and needs
to be researched thoroughly. In the
first instance, we'd like
to hear from parents and carers, as well as anyone considering Little Bears
Preschool and Stadhampton Primary School as an option, to better understand the
demands for such a service and ask that you email the school to register
your interest or pass comment (office.2455@stadhampton.oxon.sch.uk)
and they will pass all correspondence onto the GB. We will then set up a
working group, which must include representation from school staff, the
governing body, the community and parents (so please note in your email if
you're happy to be in this) as any kind of care facility outside of the
school day will need support and buy in from everyone involved (research,
due diligence, legalities, logistics etc.). THANK YOU.
