Dear Families,

What a week it's been! KS1 Phonics Screening, Y4 Multiplication Check and Southwark moderating of Year 6 writing. 

Ms Sarah sends a big shout out for the amazing children in year 1: "They took it all in their stride, and it was lovely to see how confident they were (especially recognising those cheeky split diagraphs!), and we are all incredibly proud of their achievements. Thank you to the phonics teaching staff and families who have worked so very hard to support the children."

A similar message to the Year 4 children and parents who have worked so hard practising their times tables. They have all shone and should be so proud of their achievements. We were particularly impressed with how they all supported each other. 

Finally, a massive well done to the Y6 team and children! As part of their end of year SATs, we had the Southwark moderators in to support our judgements about the children's writing. They were incredibly positive about what they saw and affirmed that our writing standards are well above national averages. 

Schönes Wochenende!

Patrick
