Bentley Weekly Update 24.5.2024

 

Important Information to Share

Ofsted Visit
Yesterday, we welcomed Ofsted into our school.  The inspectors visited all classrooms throughout the day, spoke to children, staff, governors and the Local Authority and spent time outdoors at lunchtime. It was great to hear how positively the children spoke about their learning and experiences, demonstrating their confidence and enthusiasm, and the feedback we received was very complimentary.  
We look forward to sharing the report with you once it is available in approximately 4 weeks. 
Thank you to those of you who took time to share your supportive views via the online questionnaire.

Every week we encourage parents to support their children to learn and use new vocabulary. In school we will be exploring the origin of new words, what they mean and how to use them effectively in context. If you can encourage your child to use these words it would be really helpful!
