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!

Dear All,

Media reports suggest that five year olds will start tackling fractions and computer algorithms, as a more stretching national curriculum is announced for state schools in England from September 2014. The government says the curriculum changes are designed to catch up with the world’s best education systems. Prime Minister David Cameron says this “revolution in education” is vital for the country’s economic prosperity. Labour said the curriculum should be written by experts and not depend on ministers’ “personal prejudices”. During the summer term I will be holding briefing meetings for parents and carers. Staff in school are already working on what the changes mean for Abbey and our pupils.

Best wishes Tim Foster (Headteacher)
