Autumn Term 2, Week 2
A Word from Mr Broom
It's been an incredibly exciting week in school, with Anti-bullying Week taking the lead with celebrations linked to Diwali. Today was also a special day (Children in Need).
On Monday, our clubs provision began for the second half of Autumn Term. There are over 80 children engaged in extra-curricular activity on a Monday evening, which is a fantastic achievement. Well done to everyone who comes along.
Next week, the Christmas festivities begin with the choir's first performance at the Bolton Percy Christmas Market on Saturday 25th.
Have a lovely weekend everyone.

OfSTED Parent View
We start the new academic year expecting an Ofsted Inspection at some point in the year. We are certainly well overdue!
You can really help us by completing the Ofsted Parent View online survey. It's a short series of questions that should take you no longer than 10 minutes. Of course, when we do get the call, you'll get another opportunity to share your views.

Staff Shout Outs
I've had a few messages from parents/carers asking about how they can send a staff shoutout for a staff team. It's great that you think about them and really does help to raise morale.
