Face Timing Mr Antell in Ghana
Fri 09 Feb 2018Wow! Today Y4 Face timed Mr Antell and Mr Spall in Ghana. It was fabulous to see the children and to hear them sing to us. We had to be very patient as they had a power cut but eventually we did it. We sang to them too. Big hello to all of the children at Evergreen Blossom Academy -

Ghana Day 2018
Sun 28 Jan 2018Ghana Day 2018
Thank you to everyone who made our day for Evergreen Blossom Academy School so successful last Friday.
Thanks to your generosity we raised over £800 for the school and also collected a good number of old Premier league shirts which we plan to take to the children over half term.
The money will be spent on:
· An iPad and Bluetooth speaker for the school
· A football kit for the school football team
· A play parachute for the children—we plan to teach them some parachute games whilst we are in the school
We are also taking out
· A good quality projector and leads from our school that we no longer use. This will allow them to get full use of the iPad and speaker
· Two recycled laptops
· The ‘old style’ football shirts
We took an amazing photograph thanks to ML Aerial Photos who flew a drone over the school whilst the children formed the word GHANA on our playground. We plan to take this as a gift to the school as well. We were lucky to get a clear blue sky in the middle of a wet winter. Thanks to everyone who wore their colours to make the photo so effective.
Mr Spall and I are accompanying Greenbank on a trip to Evergreen over half term. Can I assure you that no taxpayers money has been used for this! We have asked companies to sponsor school to make this possible. We like our link, but we shouldn’t be using our school money to pay for it—that is for your children!!

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.

Our Assessment System
Sat 02 Dec 2017We 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:-
Year 3, 4 and 5
Year 6
We have also produced a video to help explain the new system. This can be found here:-
