It has been a very short half term, but as always, the staff and children at Apley have achieved so much.  Just this week, I’ve seen detailed and descriptive writing across the whole school, very impressive reading in phonics lessons in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 and some fantastic art from Year 3.

Well done to our Year 5 children who demonstrated brilliant behaviour on their recent visit to Charlton School to see the performance of The Wizard of Oz.  I have received some lovely feedback from the staff team.  A huge well done again to our Safeguarding Squad, who delivered the annual whole school assembly for Safer Internet Week.  They did a brilliant job and every year group has taken part in lessons this week about the importance of online safety.

Congratulations to everyone who has received a Headteacher Award this week:

It was national kindness day yesterday and I saw and heard about a lot of children who have demonstrated kindness across school this week. On Wednesday, we hosted staff and Headteachers from six REAch2 schools, for a day of reading training.  As part of this day they visited reading lessons in every year group and they were all extremely impressed with the lessons they observed and the super behaviour and manners our children demonstrated around school. It was a pleasure to share our lovely school with a wider audience.

The parent consultation is live, regarding our academy conversion.  If you have any questions, please let us know.  One question I have been asked is whether or not our uniform will change.  Our uniform will stay the same, with only a small amendment to the logo so that it will read Apley Wood Primary Academy.  This change will not take place immediately and will be introduced over time so there will be no requirement for families to buy new uniform as a result of the conversion.

Well done to everyone who has received a Headteacher Award this week:

Eva C, Lucas T, Ruben D, Isabelle K, Sophie O, Zain R, Jack H-L, Mason S, Dylan L, Arthur C, Jake H, Hope T, Kyle B, Lily L, Coby T, Avani M, Freddie P, Amelia S, Joseph M, Annabell G, Bobby B, Wayne O, Elbie S, Jessica H, Robin L, Archie W, Imogen M, Amelia F, Jenson W, Oliver L.

Have a good weekend.
