PADDOX PRIMARY SCHOOL NEWSLETTER
29 April 2008

Inset Day – Just a reminder that school will be closed on Thursday 1st May for voting. The day is being used as one of the school’s training days and staff will be receiving training on teaching and learning and using digi-blue cameras.

New Governors – One of our Parent governors has come to the end of her term of office as a parent governor which means that we may need to hold an election if another parent is interested in joining the Governing Body. If you are interested in this role please let Mrs Hall (Oak site office) know by Friday 2nd May.

We also have a vacancy for a Community governor. This should be someone who can take an interest in school life but the governors are not looking to appoint a parent to this position, as we need to maintain a balance on the governing body. If you know someone who might be interested, again please let Mrs Hall or myself know, so that I can have a chat with them to explain what is involved.

SAT’s – Year 6 children will be taking their SAT’s during the week beginning 12th May. Children in Years 3, 4, and 5 will also be doing their English optional SAT’s that week.

New Staff – We have now appointed two new part time teaching assistants and three new midday supervisors. Thank you to any parents who applied for these positions. We had a large number of applications for theTeaching Assistants position from experienced people.

Building Work – Building work will start before half term to put in new toilets in the top floor. This means that class 6B will be moving out of their classroom for one week.

SPORT

Swimming Gala – Congratulations to the Year 3 girls relay team who won their relay race at the gala. Their trophy now stands proudly beside the Year 4 one.

Tennis – Congratulations also to the Year 3/4 Mini Red tennis team who won their tournament last week.

Climbing on the Gates – Can I please ask parents NOT to let children climb on the gates at the end of the Oak site drive. It is just an accident waiting to happen! Also, please do not let very young children ride on bikes and scooters around the staff car park, while waiting for the Oak site children to come out.
