HEADMASTERS CORNER
Well done to all the children on another very
busy week, with particular thanks to Year 4 for
such an entertaining assembly this morning. It
was clear that they had worked very hard and
that they enjoyed giving their performance. In
between all the usual lessons and activities,
the children undertook their annual Cognitive
Ability Assessments (CAT4) and some members
of Year 8 have either started their scholarship
assessments for senior school entry, or are in
the process of preparing. As always, we wish all
of our senior children every success; I know they
all deserve it.
Effort grades will be entered into your childs
planner today, so please do look out for them
over the weekend.
Next weekend is the FOTM Christmas Fayre have a very enjoyable weekend.
and well look forward to seeing you all there on
Saturday 2nd December. In advance, I thank
