Improvements the children/parents would like this coming 2018 to 2019:

• WW2 Trip – Not done in school – A visit – MGGS Tunnels for example? - Trip booked and undertaken
• Could children eat their pack lunches outside? - We are looking into this for the Summer but there is a cost to this for seating.
• Repeating of Hockey, Football etc over the years in PE – Adapt our PE Curriculum. - A meeting has been held with PASS (The company we use) and plans have been changed for this year to ensure our PE curriculum better meets the needs of our children.
• Music needs to be taught more in some classes. - Our Music lead is monitoring this termly.
• More Forest School - EYFS also do Forest School type activities but this has a cost implication for the rest of the school. Nevertheless, it is being looked in to.
• Repeating stories (Texts) - Our English Lead Mrs Armstrong has worked with staff to map out texts across the school to ensure this will not happen.
• A couple of parents have asked if children could do the ‘Mile a day’ - Our PE Leads Miss Locke and Mrs Dyer have looked into this and other ideas too. Look out for our Challenges in the weekly Newsletters.
