Ofsted Consultation Visit
We were very proud to get wonderful feedback from our visitors this week about our children, who were described as ‘simply wonderful’. The inspectors also said how positive our parents were about the school and the improvements we have made. It will be interesting to see how the inspections look in the future following our feedback. Thank you to you all for your kind words and thank you to the staff and children who worked so hard throughout the week.
Reports
As you will know from previous newsletters, we are sending our reports out mid-year (today and next week actually) to keep you informed about your child, ahead of our face-to-face parents evenings in the summer. We will send a survey out next week to see what you think of our new system of keeping you up to date with your child’s learning and achievements.
Happy Mother’s Day
I’m wishing all our Westminster Mums a very Happy Mother’s Day on Sunday. I hope you get a little bit of time to yourself away from the hustle and bustle of general life and any Eid preparation! Congratulations to Safiyyah in Ireland on winning the Mother’s Day Prize Raffle.
Ramadan
A big well done to all the children who have been fasting at school during Ramadan. You've shown amazing patience, respect and strength — a true credit to our school. We’re all really proud of you. We had lots of Year 4 children asking to fast this year too and so we will look at the possibility of having 1 school day next time where Y4 may fast or have a half-fast (which some Year 6 children said could be an option).
Eid Mubarak
Eid Mubarak to those in our community celebrating across the weekend and next week. I hope you all have a wonderful celebration! We have Eid Parties organised for the children on Wednesday and Eid goody-bags to give away to everyone on Friday.
Easter Egg Raffle
Tickets are still available to win one of our 3 Easter Egg Prizes, with the winner being chosen next Thursday.
1.30pm Close on Friday
Just a reminder that we close on Friday at 1.30pm as it is the end of a full term, returning to school on Tuesday 22nd April.
Have a lovely weekend, and God Bless.
Mr. S Gallacher, Headteacher
