50^th Birthday Celebrations

Thank you for taking the time to give us some feedback by filling in our questionnaire during parents evening.

We are glad that our site improvements, particularly with the locked gates, help to ensure children are safe and parents feel they are safe. We are talking with Governors and looking in to the costs of making improvements to our perimeter fence in the near future.

What would you like to know more about for your child?

Maths – 31% would like more information on Maths.

English – 24% would like more information on English.

Internet safety – 38% would like more information on Internet Safety

Other – homework, history, science, PSHE, PE, telling the truth, crossing the road.

I do feel the teachers keep parents well informed already.

It is very scary with everything that children can get on the internet.

Nothing, very informed in all areas.

I think you give us adequate info on these subjects.

Everything that can help.

X-box online – my child is appearing very inward, mood swings since playing online.

Would like to know more about what they are learning in Maths so I can help with extra work or revision at home.

Anything and everything.

All aspects are always valuable.

All of them to improve my skills and knowledge as a parent.

Maths – particularly areas of weakness so we can work on it at home.

Internet safety – concerned she doesn’t know enough, I am trying at home as well.

Our Response

We are pleased that most of you feel informed about what happens in school. We are planning workshops for English, Maths and Internet Safety over the coming term which we hope will be well attended and provide information and support. Teachers are always available to talk with parents to share specific year group information.

Sport Relief

As Sport Relief’s goal this year is to get everyone moving, we have decided to show our commitment by pledging to take a million steps as part of the Nation’s billion step challenge.

Over the next 2 weeks the Creative Lifeskills team are getting every child to complete a Sport Relief mile as well as focussing on how sport can help people both physically and mentally and help develop skills to overcome many obstacles. So let the Warren Park Million Step challenge begin:

We need a plan to overcome shortfall…..any ideas?

We’ve still got another 73,062 steps to go but only got our team day left to go!!!!

On our team day we came up with a plan that would get everyone involved and help smash our 1 million step target. The plan was to get all 4 teams ,Laurence, Theodore, Lavinia and Esther to walk 1 lap of the school. Our whole school lap of the school added a massive

373,184 steps

We also forgot to add the steps taken by the Year 5 children that didn’t go to Stubbington. On Tuesday 20th March they walked to Staunton Country Park and back adding another

225,600 steps

Our Sport Relief ‘Get Moving’ total steps was an incredible

1,525,722 steps
