March Newsletter
Parents’ Evening
Many thanks to all the parents who came to appointments we had a record turn out and I hope you found the information provided both useful and informative.
Many thanks for all the parents who have completed questionnaires about ways to improve the school. We have received 50 completed forms and we will collate the information and then report back on the findings.
Attendance
Attendance is continuing to rise. Last week we had three classes all of whom had 100% attendance for that week. This will really make a difference to all pupils’ progress in their learning.
Group Call
The school now has a text message system to contact all parents with important messages such as cancellation of an after school club or parents evening reminders. If you ever have a change of mobile number or any other details, please make sure you inform the school.
Book Fair and Fundraising Week
Many thanks for all the donations supplied by parents and staff during the fundraising week. The pantomime on World Book Day was also a great success and we managed to raise a total of £620. We sold £700 worth of books during the book fair and as a result the school receives £500 to spend on books. This means that following both events we will be spending £1200 on new home school books for the children. Many thanks for all your support.
Year 5 Higher Futures
Congratulations to our Year 5 pupils who have graduated from the Higher Futures 4 U programme. Over the last term they have been learning about careers, life at University and how to prepare for interviews. Our children were highly praised for their enthusiasm and behaviour. Many thanks to Miss Cutts and the staff for organising this opportunity.
Keyboard Focus Day
Our Year 6 children enjoyed a great day learning how to play keyboards at the Royal Northern College of Music. We are looking forward to some of the children performing in assembly on Friday.
Film Club
Film club has been a great success and the children are thoroughly enjoying the experience. One of the children was chosen as national reviewer of the week out of a total of 8000 entries. They received a film club goody bag and certificates.
School blog
The school is receiving a lot of praise for the use of its blog. If you haven’t had a chance to visit the site please go to www.plymouthgrove.net It is a great opportunity to find out about the wonderful work going on in all areas of the school.
Nursery Places
If your child was born between September 2006 and August 2007 and you would like them to have a place in our nursery in September, please register them with Mrs Eyre or the office.
School will close on Friday 26th March at 3.15pm and will re-open on April 12th at 8.50 am.
