Dear Parents/Carers, 

What an eventful end to the Spring half-term! I hope that you have all kept safe and out of harms way of the storm.

It has been a really productive half-term. Lots of pupils have been able to go swimming at the leisure centre; access rebound therapy and horse riding. We also had a visit from school improvement partner who reported excellent progression in reading across the school:

'Since the last visit senior leaders had done well to support the leadership of reading.The Sip visited a wide range of reading lessons with the Deputy Headteacher and the lead for reading. Leaders knew their school well and had clearly developed a set of reading expectations which were delivered across the school. As ever, what comes across clearly is the ever-present ambition by all which challenges and drives students to achieve more.'

I am pleased to say that choir will be back next half-term, and we are also delighted to be able to invite parents into school for a parent consultation evening on Thursday 24th March. We look forward to seeing you there!

Have a safe and relaxing half-term holiday.

Ruth Carpenter

Upper Evergreen students have been using the Library in St Johns Hall. They have been using the library systems and have been able to access a vast variety of books. They have been going to the library each fortnight to choose books, which we can read in school and recommend to others. 

We have also created a reading display in class to show our book recommendations and will keep adding to it as we visit the library and change books over time.
