BIKE-IT – Thursdays!
Don’t forget Bike-It Thursdays. Anyone coming to school on their bike will be given a free raffle ticket to go in the draw for a new bike at the end of the year. Those children who come on their bikes on a Thursday can have a free breakfast as long as they are in no later than 8.30am.
If they come on their bike any other day they will be given a raffle ticket but free breakfasts will only be given on a Thursday.

Contact Sheets
Please ensure all your contact details are up-to-date – we need this information in case of emergency and to update our system.

Inside Knowledge
Today we have had two people visiting from the Inside Knowledge programme which is designed to enable schools to learn from other schools with leading practice. Each visit will provide a unique opportunity for schools to share their own experiences and progress towards excellent practice on national priorities.
The visits are delivered by a number of host schools, who have been chosen based on the progress they have made in areas focused around the national priorities. They have been recommended to share their own experiences across the following five initial topic areas: sustainable schools; narrowing the gap for disadvantaged pupils; maximising pupil progress through the effective use of assessment data; teachers and teaching assistants as writers; managing school budgets effectively to deliver best value.
St. Edward’s has been nominated for sustainable schools and we will find out in the next two weeks if we have been chosen.
