Dear Families,
Firstly, my apologies for not getting a newsletter out to you on Friday. Sand
Hutton underwent a SIAMS Inspection (Church of England Inspection).
The outcome of the inspection is confidential at the moment. However, the
report will be shared with families once it is made available. I would also like to
take this opportunity to thank the children parents and staff who contributed
to the preparation of and the day itself. The inspection coincided with ‘Sharing’
at Sand Hutton. It was so lovely seeing the hall so full….we ran out of chairs! I
will publish February dates next week.
As promised I am including a photo of the sensory area we are developing at
Sand Hutton. We are incredibly grateful for the support of parents, especially
Mrs Mortimer and her fundraising and those who have donated items, and Cllr
Goodricke for financial support. Thank you all so much!

Thank you to those who responded to the Attendance Policy. There are some
really helpful suggestions which I can use to improve this document further.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and email me.
Just a quick reminder for Parents of children in Reception and Year 6; this week
is the weight and height check for those pupils who have consent given.
It is a short one this time. More on Friday!
With every best wish,
Beverley Pawson
Headteacher
Sand Hutton and Warthill Federated Schools
