Ofsted Report Published!

Following our inspection carried out by Ofsted on 8th May, our final report was published yesterday. We are delighted to announce that the school remains to be considered a good school – with the inspectors particularly recognising the atmosphere of togetherness that permeates throughout the school, the pride the children have in attending Brown Clee and the appeciation that they have for the way in which they are cared for.

 

This inspection was an “ungraded inspection” – which means that it would not have resulted in individual graded judgements but focused on determining whether the school remained the same grade as at the school’s previous graded inspection (Sept 2014). If the inspectorate team had any significant concerns during this inspections, they would have either turned the inspection into an immediate 2-day graded inspection or would have come back in 1 to 2 years time to carry out out a full 2-day graded inspection. See further information on graded and ungraded inspections. They were, however, very pleased with what they saw, and their next visit will likely be in around 4 years’ time.

UPDATED: Parent Feedback Session Links

The links for the parent feedback session have been updated. Here are the updated links:

Fireflies

Grasshoppers

Dragonflies

Bees 

Scorpions

 

We had a technical error (meaning any booking was taking up that particular slot for all classes). This has now been fixed. The original links have been closed. If you made a booking before these links were closed, then this has been transferred over to the new booking link – so you do not need to do anything.

 

Another thing is that Fireflies parent feedback sessions are just for Year 1 pupils. Parents of reception children will receive a end-of-year report this term. Apologies that this was not communicated initially.

Bikeability

A few weeks ago, Year 5 and 6 took part in Level 2 Bikeability.

 

Each day mainly involved learning how to ride their bikes safely on the roads – including, starting and stopping, passing stationary vehicles and negotiating junctions.

 

This started with some activities on school playground:

Summer Fair – Raffle Tickets

We have now received the raffle tickets for the draw which will take place at the Summer Fair on Saturday 29th June here at school.  We are sending a book of tickets home with the children.   Please return any tickets sold with the money to the school office and also if you do not want any tickets, please could you return the book to school.
