a note from our Headmistress ..... .... first published in Bozeat Matters In this final term of the school year I am pleased to share and celebrate a variety of successes with you. We’re blowing our own trumpet – literally! We are very proud that yet again the Brass Band has been selected to go forward to the national round of the National Festival of Music for Youth in July, being held this year at Birmingham Symphony Hall. Special thanks to our brass teacher Ruth Allen, who shares her skills, passion and enthusiasm for music in a truly inspirational way, nurturing interest and talent in so many local young people, which I know has encouraged many to pursue a career in music and will remain a lifelong hobby for others. Mrs Williams, selected as a county Foundation Stage ICT Strategy Lead Reception Class teacher this time last year, has hosted several Open Days and after school sessions to share her excellent practice with staff from other schools and is assisting county advisers in delivering training courses. Her work has been used by county advisers at national training events and her comments now appear in the promotional literature of a leading educational ICT provider. I am delighted to tell you she has been shortlisted in the national BECTA ICT in Practice Awards Foundation Stage Teaching category. Only six nominees are shortlisted in each category so it’s a huge accolade to have reached this stage. The ICT capability and confidence of our youngest pupils is exceptional, and we look forward to further developing this throughout the school in our new ICT suite. We are finalising preparations for our ‘Grand Opening’ and look forward to providing opportunities for community group access. This time last year I wrote that the summer term is traditionally a time of tests and trips. As I write Year 2 and 6 pupils are undertaking their assessment tasks and statutory assessment tests, and teachers of other year groups are beginning to ascertain whether their teaching throughout the year has gone in one ear and out through the other! We’re looking forward to rounding off the year with class visits and sporting events. Apparently this summer promises to be the hottest since 1976 so hopefully fine weather is guaranteed for all forthcoming school and village events. Thank you all for your continuing interest in and support for all our activities, we look forward to further developing our community links during next school year. Kathy Haigh |
