We have been delighted by the good attitudes, resilience and ‘stickability’ of our pupils this September. They have tackled the new challenges and expectations of their new year groups with Bentley courage. Well done everyone!
Receiving the Ofsted ‘call’ on Monday morning is never expected but as we had been waiting for over fourteen years for another inspection it was very much welcomed. Whilst we knew the length of time between inspections was for very positive reasons, the school governors and I were aware our report was out of date and written around a framework which has been reviewed, updated and replaced several times since 2007!
The school staff are looking forward to seeing your friendly faces at the Welcome BBQ today. We have great organic meat sausages and burgers (sourced from the super Country Market butcher), stacks of rolls and condiments, plus vegetarian and Gluten Free options too! Please do come along and feed the family, catch up with friends old and new, plus support our PTFA. We will see you between 4-7pm – bring a positive attitude, a raincoat/umbrella and we’ll all be fine!
It has been a great start to the school year and we have been so impressed with how our children are settling back into school routines again. Well done and keep it up everyone!
We have really enjoyed the changes without the Government prescribed ‘bubbles’. Being able to come back altogether again in Collective Worships as a school has been really special and it is lovely to see all the adults properly without face masks outside at long last! We are still reviewing our Risk Assessment and Contingency Plans after staff consultation and will get that out to you as soon as possible. As ever, please consult the NHS websites if anyone in the household has Covid symptoms to ensure you are following the very latest guidance.
