  Service Above Self Community Concert

  Our Mini Singers performed a fantastic community Christmas concert for the residents of Byng House. Byng House provides service and ex-service men and women with an opportunity to have a break.

  The children performed Christmas songs and our guests loved joining in. Our guests were thrilled with the Christmas readings performed by the children. The guest enjoyed some festive refreshments to finish off a perfect Christmas afternoon.

  Thank you to Mrs Caddell and Mrs Wright for all their hard work preparing for the concert.

• Christmas Boxes

  Fri 08 Dec 2017 FRJS

  Thank you to everyone who helped by donating a 'Christmas Box' through the Rotary Club this year.

   

  Because of your generosity, 120 children and families in a more deprived part of the World will receive a special gift in the coming days.

   

  The boxes were collected from school on Friday by local Rotary members and will now start their lorry journey. Helping others in the World is such an important thing to do and we are very grateful for having such a caring local community who make this happen.

• Our Assessment System

  Sat 02 Dec 2017 FRJS

  We have developed a new assessment system for this school year.

   

  In brief, this is as follows:

  • Children take termly assessments in reading, spelling, grammar and maths. We also assess their writing using set criteria.
  • These tests are reported in terms of standardised scores with 100 being the 'expected' standard.
  • We report the results to you at our termly Parent/Teacher meetings and on a report. We also report on your childd's progress in six key pastoral areas.
  • The children have a termly meeting with their teacher to discuss their targets
  • Academic targets have been set for every child based on their Year 2 results.

   

  We have produced an explanatory letter to help you understand the reports that we have produced for your child. This can be found using these links:-
