George Spicer Newsletter - 17th May 2024
Year 6 SAT's - This week, our year 6 children completed their Statutory Assessment Tests (SATs). They performed incredibly well, coping well with the change of routine, as well as the added stress tests brings. Their results will be released in early July. We want to say a huge thank you to all of the staff who supported the children this week and a huge well done to all the children!
Next week, the majority of our year 6 children will be embarking on their week-long residential trip to PGL in Shropshire. We hope they enjoy their adventure and enjoy all the new experiences they come across! Those not attending also have many fun activities to look forward too!

Our school is taking part in Walk to School Week. The nationwide event is to help pupils experience first-hand the importance of active travel to school.
By walking, scootering or cycling to school, children will be well on their way to reaching their recommended minimum 60 minutes of physical activity per day before even reaching the school gates! Not only will it set them up for a positive day in the classroom, but it will also help create healthy habits for life.
This year’s challenge, The Magic of Walking, encourages children to travel actively to school every day of the week. If you live far away from school and need to drive or take public transport, try parking the car in one of our convenient park and stride locations, or hopping off the bus/train ten minutes away and walking the rest of the journey.
Start thinking now about what you can do to join in the Magic of Walking challenge.
