Our church school inspection report has now been published, following the inspector’s visit before Easter. We hope you will agree it is a very positive report, and we think, reflects the vision of our school to value and encourage and support every child to learn, grow and achieve, as a ‘whole’ person.

The inspector spent the day in school, much of which was spent talking to the children in lessons, at break and lunch and in groups, such as the School Council and Eco Team. The children’s responses reflected their understanding of our values and their understanding of how they impact on daily life.

The inspector also met with governors and spoke to and received written comments from parents/ carers- so thank you to all those who contributed to those.

We are delighted that he confirmed we are a good school, and he highly praised the ethos of our school finding many strengths, including the following:

‘pupils’ behaviour is excellent and the highly positive relationships between all in the school community are based on mutual respect.’

 ‘pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural understanding is highly developed, regardless of ability, background or faith of each pupil’.

‘pupils …are socially aware, going out of their way to be helpful to all and having great pride in their school’.

‘levels of attendance are high as pupils say they enjoy coming to school.’

Congratulations to Anna and Evie , who were the winners in our latest library competition, with an Under the Sea theme.

Anna won the writing competition’s   £10 book token prize for her Undersea adventure story entitled ‘ Angel and Mer – Treasure

Evie Youngs who won the prize for the art competition, to create an undersea creature. She won a lovely lift the flap book ‘See under the Sea.’

Special mentions were also made in our celebration assembly to Elodie, Faye, Chloe, Libby M and Hugo for their ‘Highly Commended’ entries.

The standard was very high this time, particularly in the entries for the art competition so a big – ‘Well Done!’ to everyone who took part – it was very hard to choose!

Our school leveret has arrived!  He was appeared in our ‘launch assembly , where he was unveiled by Marni, and Chloe, who along with many other children had found mystery clues around the school , which we discovered were all ‘Hare’ related!

The children will be planning their design this week, and on Friday March 2, our World Book Day celebrations will be ‘Hare’ themed across all our classes.

The children will be creating their own design, incorporating features of Lyng village. Every child will have the opportunity to paint an element of the chosen designs on our leveret.

He will be collected at the end of term , ready to go on display as one of the Go Go Hares exhibition  in and around Norwich .
