Judgemeadow College and Abbey Primary  raised raised £737.40 for the Teenage Cancer Trust at the Year 6/Year 10 sale last week.  Thanks to all who came and gave!

Our ASF players won the Leicester City Quick Sticks Hockey Tournament recently. Yet another brilliant sporting success for Abbey Primary!

Please don’t forget to return your Parents’ Evening letters – they are taking place on Tuesday 8^th and Wednesday 9^th April.

I am delighted to be able to let you know that the Secretary of State for Education (via the National College for Teaching & Leadership) has accepted our application to become a teaching school from September 2014. We are the first of Leicester’s 80 primary schools to be given this important designation.  Teaching schools give outstanding schools across the country (like Abbey Primary) a leading role in the training and professional development of teachers, support staff and headteachers, as well as contributing to the raising of standards through school-to-school support. This work will benefit our own staff and pupils as well as those in  schools across the city. Thanks to all pupils, staff, parents and governors for their support in making Abbey the amazing school it is today.

Our attendance awards winners for the week of Monday 17^th March were: Miss Healey Mrs Champaneri and Miss Hemsley/Mrs Dasanjh

The tidy classroom award winners this week were: Mrs Khunti (Year 2) and Mrs Rehman (Year 3)

Dear All

Better news on attendance! Last week’s overall attendance for full time pupils was 96.7% – well above our 95% target. Three classes achieved 100% and 17 out of 21 classes surpassed our 95% target. Thanks to everyone – can we achieve this percentage every week now?

A final and massive “Congratulations” to our final two Apprentices. This has been (as they all are) the best Apprentice yet. Eight amazing tasks and so much money raised, that they have donated an extra £300 to charitable causes! Every candidate will have benefited from the incredible experience that ‘The Apprentice’ offers. It has also been great entertainment!
