News from Micheldever C of E Primary School ~ November

We have certainly been busy at the school! The end of September brought a longawaited OFSTED inspection to the school. Whilst we are unable at the time of writing to share the outcome of the report, I can say that I am very proud of everyone linked with the school. Children excelled through the inspection and the staff were able to demonstrate all their hard work over the two days the inspectors were with us. The report is due to be made public around the middle of November – please do have a read of it either via ours, or OFSTEDs websites. Children have continued to work incredibly either side of the inspection. A highlight for us this past term was our excellent Harvest Celebration service at the church. Pine class (Year 1/2) did an excellent job in leading us through the service and we were particularly proud of Oak class (R/1) who performed a song after, for many of them, only 5 weeks at school. We are gearing up to take part in a tag rugby competition which Hawthorn (our Year 6 class) will be representing the school at.

Our children have thoroughly enjoyed earning house points for a variety of positive things this term and seeing them collectively gather up – a bit like in Harry Potter! We have been working really hard to learn our golden rules this term and have been focusing on a different one each week. Our favourites include ‘We are Kind’ where we have thought about the book Wonder and ‘We can Let it go,’ which inspires us to break out into Frozen singing! Our second open morning for prospective parents is on the 22nd November at 9:30am. We would really like to meet you and you child if you are considering coming to Micheldever school in September 2023. Please contact the school office on 01962774213 or adminoffice@micheldever. hants.sch.uk if you are thinking of coming.
