Headteacher’s Message At the end of a term, it is always a great opportunity to look back at all of the wonderful things that have been happening in school to make a difference for our children. We continue to work on our school development priorities: Improving standards in writing across the school Planning to meet individual needs of our children through support or extra challenge Consolidating the way we assess pupils (day-to-day) and at the end of terms to ensure all pupils are making progress We continue to consistently reinforce HIGH EXPECTATIONS for all of our pupils, in behaviour, attitude to learning and their personal development. We are always grateful to our families for your support with this. We have also had a big push on improving attendance. The STARS project has proven impactful in increasing conversation about attendance and meetings with families have been positive and really focussed on how we can work, in partnership, to address any barriers. If you feel that you would like support with improving your child’s attendance, please ask to make an appointment for a brew and a chat with me – we are all here to help. Thank you also to our Friends of St Lukes (PTA) who have been so active in school so far this year and provided many memorable events for pupils and families. A lot of hard work goes into this voluntary role so I sincerely thank them for all for their efforts and also to our families for supporting the events. After the holidays, we hope to make some announcements about what the fundraising will enable us to improve in our school
