What a fantastic week it has been at Rangefield Primary School!

I would like to begin by saying a huge thank you to all the parents and carers who took the time to attend our recent Parents’ Evenings. It was wonderful to see so many of you coming into school to meet with our teachers, celebrate the progress your children have made and discuss their next steps in learning. The partnership between home and school is so important, and working together ensures that every child has the opportunity to achieve their very best. Thank you for your continued support and for taking such a keen interest in your children’s education.

This week, our Year 6 children have made us incredibly proud. They represented Rangefield Primary School beautifully at the Remembrance Service, demonstrating maturity, respect and thoughtfulness throughout. They were a real credit to themselves, their families and our school community. Their behaviour and conduct were exemplary, and they were fantastic role models for our younger children. Well done, Year 6!

I have also had the pleasure of visiting classrooms across the school this week and have seen some wonderful learning taking place. You may have heard your children talking at home about their writing and, in particular, the wolves that have visited their classrooms or perhaps an item that has been lost and found! These exciting experiences are part of our refreshed writing curriculum, which has been carefully developed to inspire children’s imaginations, create a sense of curiosity and, most importantly, ensure that all children enjoy writing and are fully engaged in the process.    We want our children to see themselves as confident, enthusiastic writers who are excited by the opportunities to create, explore ideas and share their thoughts with others. It has been lovely to see the enthusiasm these activities have generated and I look forward to seeing how the children’s writing develops over the coming weeks.

From the questions being asked to the effort, determination and pride shown in their work, there is so much to celebrate across all our classes. Our children continue to impress me with their positive attitudes and willingness to learn.

Thank you once again to all our families for your ongoing support. It is a privilege to be part of such a wonderful school community, and I look forward to another successful week of learning, growing and celebrating together.
