HOW DOES MY CHILD’S TEACHER DECIDE WHAT MY BOOK MY CHILD IS READING?

Children will have taken their star reader tests in school over the past couple of weeks. This is a computer-based test that measures a child’s reading ability through a series of 34 questions. Every test for every child is different, and the computer selects different questions for each child dependent on how well they answer the previous questions. Essentially, the computer adapts the test to suit your child. This is not just a test of word reading, it is also a test of comprehension and understanding.

We have been informed by our school catering team - Cleverchefs - that their price for a meal is increasing to £2.70 from September. As you know, food costs continue to rise and this has led to the price change.

As we reach the end of this academic year, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on what has been a significant year of change and growth for our schools. This has been our first year working under the new leadership model, and I am proud to say that Stoughton Infants and Northmead Junior Schools have begun to work closely together for the benefit of the children of the Stoughton community and I am excited about the future as we continue to strengthen our collaboration, and this includes our Local Governing Bodies working as one.
