MESSAGE FROM THE
HEAD
Good News! Ramadhan is here again and
I would like to wish all those
celebrating ‘Ramadhan Mubarak!’
I am also happy to report some really good news
this week. The Key Stage 1 results have been
extensively moderated, 93% children achieved 2b
and above in reading and maths. This is significantly
better than last year, and above last year’s national
average. Additionally 79% achieved 2b and above
in writing and again this is significantly better than
last year, again better than last year’s national
average - well done to all of Year 2!
KS2 have also performed really well. Based on
practice papers, we are confident that the results
will show a significant increase on last year. We are
waiting for the KS 2 SATs results and I will share
with parents at the earliest opportunity - well done
to all of Year 6!
The phonics screening test in Year 1 is also looking
good and we will share the results with you when
these are published.
Ramadhan will start from this weekend.
Only year 5 & 6 children will be allowed to fast
once a consent form has been received. The days
will be long and hot! Parents need to ensure that
children that fast have a good breakfast (suhur)
and drink plenty of water.
GOVERNORS
On the 13th of June 2014, the Governors met the
Director of Education and took the decision to
facilitate an orderly and smooth handover to an
Interim Executive Board (IEB) which will then be
responsible for running the school. This was done
in the interest of pupils, staff and the wider
community.
YEAR 3 TRIP
Finally, I wish you all a pleasant weekend and look
forward to seeing you next week.

Year 3 went on a trip to the Rainforest Café.
There, they learnt about jungles and the wildlife.
From all accounts they also had a fantastic lunch
with ice cream and had a fun journey on the
London Underground.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

YEAR 5 TRIPS
Year 5 enjoyed a
worthwhile trip to
Spitalfields City
Farm, which was
followed by a visit
to the park for a
picnic and some
games. Mizanur commented,
"This was one of the best £2 that I have ever
spent!"
Year 5 enjoyed a trip to
Whitechapel Art Gallery
where they browsed a
selection of displays,
before creating some
artwork of their own
including a sculpture.
The children particularly
enjoyed having a large choice of materials to
choose from. They were well received at the
gallery, with one member of staff
commenting ‘what a lovely class' and how much
they enjoyed working with them.
KINGSWOOD 2014
“Year 6 went to Kingswood for their second residential. We did many activities such as aerial
runway and team challenge. We also did outdoor climbing, made a camp fire and played laser
tag. We enjoyed ourselves during the 3 days. We met an instructor called Ross and he soon
became our best friend. We played football in the fields and also managed to watch the
England World Cup match. This residential was the best!”
