• Sizzling Summer Fun!

  Thu 18 Jul 2013

  What a fantastic evening we all had at school at the (now annual) Summer Sizzler.
  
  Well over 400 people came to school on a beautiful summer's evening to celebrate the end of another great year at Gateford Park.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

   

  With performances from the Glee Club, Drama Club, a local street dance company, great food, bouncy castles, Y5/6 Enterprise stalls and Mr. Letton in the stocks, there was something for everyone to see, eat, drink and soak!

   

  The PTFA's hard work and the generosity of our community meant that £2000 was raised on the evening towards their funds.  Every penny that is raised by the PTFA goes directly to making things even better for our children.  Our thanks go to you all!
  
  Make a mark in next year's diary for 4 July 2014 - Summer Sizzler III.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

  

• SATs Success!

  Thu 18 Jul 2013
  Last week, we received the end of Key Stage 2 SATs results.  We are absolutely delighted to let you know that 2013 has given us our best results ever!  Level 4 is the national expectation for children aged 11.
  
  94.4% of the children (34 out of 36) achieved a Level 4 in reading, with 44.4% achieving Level 5 or better.  This is an increase of 19% on 2012.
  
  86.1% of children (31 out of 36) achieved a Level 4 in the brand new Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling (GAPS) test, with 52.6% achieving Level 5.  We don’t have anything to compare this yet, but our chats with other schools suggest that this is very good indeed!
  
  91.4% of children (33 out of 36) achieved a Level 4 in mathematics.  This is an increase of 14% on 2012.  41.6% of the children achieved a Level 5 or higher.
  
  We will continue to make it our aim for every child to achieve the very best that is possible for them.  We would like to thank the children for working so hard, the staff for their dedication and all parents and carers for their constant support.  It is very reassuring to know that we have done our best and the children are as ready as possible to do well at secondary school. 
  
  Here’s to 2014!
