Whole School Letter 9

8 November

Dear Parents

St Francis School Association
At the St Francis School Association AGM yesterday evening the school was presented with a cheque for £10000. This is a fantastic amount of money and all the children will benefit from the equipment it will buy. Amongst other things this equipment will include new audio equipment for every class, updating of some of the PE equipment used in the hall, renewing and improving the green area in the KS2 playground, new outdoor play equipment for Y1 and some exciting, new hardware for use in ICT.

The recent Ofsted inspection reported that St. Francis is an outstanding school. I believe that a significant aspect of that judgement was their finding of a whole school community ethos. St Francis School Association has always been a rich part of the whole community, adding to what we bring together for the children. On the occasion of celebrating another great year for the Association I wish to thank everyone who plays a part in it, from committees past and present to the parent who helps out for an hour or so at an event. Your support and commitment does make a difference.


Yours sincerely




S J Shepherd
Headteacher
