• Sports Days

  Wed 21 May 2014

  We have had 2 very successful sports days this week. Our hosts at Greenbank looked after us very well and even managed to organise excellent weather. It was fantastic to see so much support from families and friends and the children really rose to the occasion. Photos of some of the activities can be found below, with short videos available in our podcast section under the 'children' menu. Unfortunately, there are less videos of Y3 and 5 due to a flat phone battery!

• Ofsted Inspection 2014

  Sat 17 May 2014

  Please find the report from our recent Ofsted Inspection below.

   

  We are very pleased that the report reflects the strengths of our school and the progress that continues to be made, making it an even better place to learn.

   

  Amongst the many highlights in the report are some that deserve special mention.

   

  • The impact of teaching on pupils’ learning is usually good and there are examples of excellent teaching and learning across the school-the standards of teaching in our school are consistently good and often better. This means that the school is well place to raise standards even further in the coming years.
  • From their individual starting points, pupils make good progress overall-this is the core of our job and we are pleased that the improvements we have made have had a positive impact on children’s learning.
  • The behaviour of pupils is good and school records show that this is the norm-the childrens’ behaviour was recognised as excellent and all of the pupils should be very proud of the contribution that they make to the school every day.
  • The pupils really appreciate their teachers and their school and they wear their uniform with pride-we are delighted that the positive attitudes of the children have been recognised by the inspection team.
  • Pupils say that they feel very safe in school because they know adults care for them well -we ask the staff to look after the children as if they were their own, and the report confirms that we are achieving this.
  • School leaders have successfully steered the school through a period of significant changes in staffing and have built an enthusiastic, cohesive team-the school has a strong and dedicated team who are very capable of securing even more improvement in the future.

   

  Lastly, and most importantly, the inspection found that the headteacher is ambitious for the school and is well supported by the deputy headteacher, staff and a highly committed well informed governing body. It is this that will help everyone in our school community work together to make even more progress in the next few years.

   

  Thank you for your constant support,

   

   

  Cllr Brodie Browne
  Chair of Governors

• Laurie Parr Trophy Winners

  Wed 07 May 2014
  The A Team played in the final of the Laurie Parr Trophy tonight at Southport' F.C.'s home ground Haig Avenue. They were playing Our Lady of Lourdes, a team they had lost 9-1 to, earlier in the season!
  
  The first half didn't quite go to plan with Farnborough conceding two goals, despite creating a number of chances themselves, both Adam L and Jack G going close, Alex H breaking down the wing and Louis H and Liam L tackling well.
  
  However the second period saw a fantastic response from the A team, with some inspired attacking from Andrew S, James W and two well taken goals from Oscar T. Our defence held strong with Dana A and Kian C working hard together at the back. The team were well on top and didn't want the half to end!
  
  The third period saw end to end attacks from both teams, with more inspired defending from Charlotte I and Robbie J and some stunning saves from our keeper Nathan, including a crucial one with less than a minute to go!
  
  The game finished 2-2 and meant the trophy was shared, a deserved result for both team in the end.
  
  The result just shows how much the team have progressed and improved over the season and as manager I am incredibly proud of each member of the squad - Well Done all of you!
