• Ofsted 21 and 22.5.19

  Mon 20 May 2019 Anna Cvijetic

  Dear Children of Berkeley Primary School, 

   

  Ofsted is inspecting your school, and would like to hear your views. You can do this by completing an online pupil questionnaire at the following link: https://ofsted.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/Pupil/10089019

   

  Your views are really important to us, and will help inspectors understand your experience of school. The questionnaire will close at 11am on 21 May 2019, to give the inspector time to look at the results. The questionnaires work in Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Internet Explorer 11, and on mobiles and tablets when you copy and paste the link into the browser.

   

  We do not ask for your name, so you will not be identified from the responses you make.

• Walk to School Week

  Fri 17 May 2019

  Monday 20th May marks the start of a national campaign 'Walk to School Week'. Here at Berkeley we would like to support this in encouraging our children to walk, bike, scoot or park and stride to school*. Key stage two children have been set a challenge, to see which class can actively travel the most over the next two school weeks. There will be an active prize awarded to the winning class. We will also be completing this challenge with key stage 1 shortly.  

   

  *Alternatives have been suggested for those children who struggle to actively travel to school for various reasons. 

  

• 100% attendance

  Tue 30 Apr 2019 Anna Cvijetic

  We were delighted to give out the 100% attendance certificates for the Spring Term to the children this morning in assembly.  The children talked about why good attendance and punctuality is so important.  One child summed it up beautifully saying, "We need to be here to learn well and get a great job to enjoy our lives."  

   

  Well done to 6 Beech who have the highest attendance in the school, an amazing 98%.

  

• Punctuality coming to school

  Tue 30 Apr 2019 Anna Cvijetic

  We have seen a lot of children arriving late to school recently.  A reminder that the school day starts at 9am, so your children should be in the school playground before this.  We open the doors at 8.50am to let the children in to school.  The school and EIS monitor this closely and will contact families if this occurs frequently.  If your child is late they are missing out on valuable school time and settling in time.  We start teaching immediately, they may also miss things like interventions and marking review time.

  Please accept my thanks for your full support in attendance and punctuality matters.
