Your Children:
growing up in the 21st century


With so much 'doom and gloom' about modern childhood in the media and so much nationwide parental anxiety about behaviour, politeness, safety etc, please take a few minutes to read the full OfSTED report, and especially the letter the Inspector sent to all of the children.
As well as the ‘content’ (which says some wonderful things about your children; their attitude, the way they speak to and respond to each other etc) all classes looked at it as a model example of how to write a letter (e.g. style, think about the audience etc) which is one of the things we teach in Literacy!

Please! Please! Take a  few minutes to read the full report. It is so very positive about your children (the Inspection Team spent far more time with them than they did with adults!) and about  the actual impact on children of all the adults' hard work to make school enjoyable and worthwhile for all your children.
