It was lovely to see so many parents after school at our phonics event.  Lots of information was shared with everyone on how to support your child with their phonics at home.  For those that attended a booklet was provided.  If you couldn't make it a booklet will come home in your child's book bag tomorrow.

We were delighted to welcome Dame Alison Peacock to Woodcote Primary School today.

Dame Peacock was a Headteacher of an oustanding school in Hertfordshire.  She has written many books focusing on education and particularly assessment.  Her books "Learning without Limits" and "Assessment for Learning without Limits" have helped directly shape some of the practice here at our school.  

She is now the head of the Chartered College of Teaching and spends much of her time working with government and overseas colleagues to ensure that the teaching profession has a voice to become the best it can be for our children. 

Dame Peacock was invited to our school by Mrs Hunt.  She has an incredibly busy schedule so we were overjoyed when she accepted. She spent her time with the children in their classes, interested in their learning.  She was treated to songs, stories, poems and even a rap! 

Dame Peacock tweeted later on that evening:

"So enjoyed visiting the fabulous @WPSOxon Woodcote Primary today thank you #Happy #Respectful #Hardworking"

 

We are really pleased to be able to offer a huge range of clubs for the children this term.  We also have After School Club for those who need longer childcare and for their child to eat before coming home.

 

Please see the clubs letter in the Newsletter section of the website for details of each of the clubs, timings and how to apply.
