Dear Families,
I must start my newsletter this week with more thanks.
Thank you to families from both schools who have shown their kindness and support following the publication of the SIAMS report at Sand Hutton and the announcement of an Ofsted Inspection this week. I feel the support shown consolidates the faith I have in the union of the federation. An extra special thank you for our pastries and daffodils package which was received at Sand Hutton with immense gratitude. We are so very thankful for our federation family.
As I have said, we have received the finalised report at Sand Hutton for SIAMS and have shared this directly with the Sand Hutton parents. Should anyone from either setting wish to have sight of an electronic or hard copy, please ask either school office. The report is also on our website. The Ofsted report will be published in due course and until this is available, the outcomes are confidential.
We dd have a busy week though aside of our visitors….
Class 1 at Sand Hutton went on their trip to Tropical World in Leeds. Both Miss Branston and Mrs Darling said that all the children were a credit to the school and I know that everybody had a fabulous day! Well done Class 1.
We seem to have opened the ‘trip floodgates’ with three pending next week! Class 3 are heading to Howsham Mill, the Junior Class are heading to Elvington Air Museum and a mixture of both schools and classes are looking forward to YOUNG VOICES at Sheffield Arena on Friday: for those of you who don’t know, we are headlining with Heather Small from M People (the adults are more excited than children I think!)
Further to the strike information I shared last week, at present I have no reason to think that our situation has changed. I believe that both schools will operate as normal. As I said before, should the situation change, I will try to give as much advance warning as possible.
Please have an enjoyable and restful weekend,
With every best wish,
Beverley Pawson
