We will reschedule the date to another Tuesday in the coming weeks once we are confident the network will have connectivity.

Section 48 - Church School Inspection

The National Church of England inspected our school on Wednesday 6 March and we are very delighted to have received our inspection report following our Section 48 SIAMS inspection.   To some extent it mirrored the experience of our OFSTED inspection in March 2023 in which HMI summed up our pupils’ experience as ‘pupils love learning and achieve well’ and gave us only one area for improvement. OFSTED Report 03/23: https://shorturl.at/opGL3

The Section 48 inspection report celebrates this tremendous church school; its staff, its pupils and its governors. The inspector/s describe ‘Relationships are extremely strong’, ‘Pupils know they are unique, loved and nurtured and that the adults in school will listen to them and help’, and ‘Loving relationships within school are valued by parents’. A copy of the report is available here: SIAMS Report 06/24: https://shorturl.at/zGRS2

School outcomes continue to get better and better

The DFE have published the progress scores for 2023 data.

As you can see our children's progress is Above average for reading and Well above Average (the top band) for writing and maths meaning they go on to high school very well-prepared for the next stage of their education.

The Growing Faith Adventure

We are enthused and delighted to take on the challenge of working with a range of partners including our school Parish Church of St Margaret's and All Hallows and SMILE Collective to spread the Good News.

We are beginning our journey of this new initiative with the national education office and our Liverpool Diocese as we look to work even more closely with our churches and our families.

'Growing Faith is actively encouraging ventures and activities which will help normalise conversations about Christian faith, leading opportunities for developing prayer and gathering for worship.'  

If you would like to join us as a volunteer in this project or would like to know more please contact our recently appointed  Growing Faith C-ordinator, Mrs Sue Kirby.

Whole School Enterprise Week - led by Year 6

Our children have chosen to support Derian House as our charity this year.

One of our past pupils benefited so much from the support that the house provided to him.  We present an award every year in his memory and it is fiting for us to give back to such an important North West charity.

See newsletter for more details as to how it works and what you can do.
