Welcome back everyone! It's been a really short week but we have had a great start. You may notice a few new faces around the school. I'm sure you will join us in welcoming them to our happy school. I would love to know what you all think about our new outdoor EYFS setting and our outdoor nature play area. The children have had a wonderful time learning through play. I am delighted that our attendance figures have drastically improved. An excellent end to the week with 96% attendance. Let's hope we can keep this going for the rest of the term. Have a great weekend. Hope the sun comes out :)

Happy new year!

I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas holiday. It's great to be back to a routine and to stop eating chocolate!

The start of this term has been a positive one and myself and staff now feel that last month was a bit of a blur. Having Ofsted in the middle of Christmas rehearsals wasn't ideal, however we are all now relieved that it's over and we can build on the positive and develop even further. Ofsted have confirmed that we are heading in the right direction, so of course we are delighted and feel extremely proud of our achievements. It's important to mention here that the partnership we have with our families, is a key ingredient to this success. Thank you all very much :)

We have a few events coming up this term for parents who wish to find out about Read, Write, Inc and Maths Makes Sense. Look out for dates on our newsletters.

I would like to welcome Mrs Willmot who is now leading the Tree House. Some of you may be aware that the unit has not had a leader for almost a year, so well done to the team for providing quality provision for our Tree House pupils. The outstanding progress was acknowledged by Ofsted.

I haven't used my blog as frequently as I would like to. Not sure if parents are reading my postings. It would be lovely to have some comments posted in return. As always your views are very much taken into consideration.

Best wishes

Mrs S

Welcome back!

I hope you all had a great summer and enjoyed the many sunny days we have been fortunate enough to have. Really hoping it lasts longer, particularly as we are going to have swimming for another month. It will be great to have Coach Kenny again.

Hooray our central heating system was upgraded during the summer and builders managed to finish on time! At least we can now look forward to a warmer winter.  Shortly our new nursery building will be arriving and we will be able to closely watch it develop. Very exciting!

Please join me in welcoming our new members of staff to Midfield. I feel like I spent most of my first year interviewing for a range of posts, but I am delighted to have appointed such a highly experienced and skilled bunch. This will no doubt compliment the rest of the team, which are very much dedicated and committed in taking Midfield to an outstanding level. Onwards and upwards!

Bye for now. Look out for my future blogs J

        

Welcome to my new blog page! This is an opportunity to communicate with you all more personally and update you on most recent news and events. Please do feel free to reply back.

Today I have very exciting news to share! First of all congratulations and well done to Year 6 for achieving the best ever KS2 results here at Midfield. 100% of pupils achieved at least a level 4 in reading, writing and maths. That’s all 26 pupils! Wow, what amazing achievement. This means that all our Year 6 pupils will leave Midfield with adequate literate and numerate skills that they can build on in the future. We wish them good luck, health and happiness. A huge well done to staff who have impacted on their learning during their primary school journey. Although special thanks must go to Miss Findlay who has been their teacher since Year 4. Not forgetting of course Mrs Fanucci and Mrs Long for their outstanding contributions too.

My second bit of news is that Midfield has achieved an Investors in People award. This is recognition of our high performing team and the value we place upon growing and developing our staff. The assessor came in and interviewed members of staff and governors. Well done to the Midfield team!
