We have asked your headteacher, staff and governing body to do the following things to improve the school.  Work towards getting more examples of outstanding teaching through the school by making sure teachers check your learning more regularly in lessons and show you how to improve your topic work when they mark your books.  Plan interesting activities for children in the Reception and Nursery class so that they do better in getting to know about the world around them.  Push those of you who are just on the cusp of getting higher levels in writing a bit more so that you can get even higher levels in your national tests.
