Behaving badly...?

I'm not quite sure what to make of all the latest media coverage of Mr Gove's new behaviour initiatives...


Behaviour at both Oakfield and Temple Hill is judged as "good" and both teams work incredibly hard to ensure our children are kept safe and happy.


I am not naïve enough to think that behaviour is always good, but I do believe we try our best to ensure that every incident is tackled fairly.  Parents - please ensure you speak with a class teacher - either in person or through e-mail if you have an issue that is concerning you about behaviour.  Please also feel free to contact myself or my Heads of School, Dawn and Sara for further support.


I also wanted to give you information about the government's free school meals policy, due to come in to force in September 2014.  EVERY child in Reception, Year 1 or Year 2 in September will be able to get a free, hot meal every day.  Parents will have to elect for their child to receive a meal but eligibility will no longer be on income - it really is FREE for every child in these year groups.


Shortly, we will be conducting a short survey amongst parents to judge what uptake may be for September.  We have lots of planning to do...
