How is the break going? Hope you are all having fun together.
πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Year 6 learnt the hand jive today as part of their 1950s focus! πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§
What a brilliant day! The children have enjoyed β€˜Dancing Through the Decades’ to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§
Once again we say thank you to everyone in our school community who works so tirelessly for our children and families. To our parents and carers, the many outside agencies that we work with, every single member of staff, our Governors and our wider friends and community, we say THANK YOU! It is the end of a busy half term that have included domestic and international residentials, many trips, visits and enrichment days, Year 2 and Year 6 SATS and the launch of our OPAL work to transform play opportunities for our children. Have a restful break and come back, recharged, for what will be a busy final half term of the school year, filled with love, learning and laughter!
The Northwood staff are enjoying our Jubilee celebrations! We are enjoying the street party lunch, learning about our chosen decade and dancing the day away! πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ πŸ‘Έ
Today is National Thank a Teacher day. We are so proud to have the teachers we have at Northwood. They are committed, hard-working and inspirational. Thank you, teachers!
Tomorrow a group of staff and children from our Designated Special Provision will take off on an adventure to Barnstondale! We will be taking part in a range of activities that will challenge us and it will be a fantastic experience for our fantastic young people. We will be sending regular photos and check ins so keep your eye on here, twitter and your child's Seesaw account! BARNSTONDALE 2022 is GO!

A group of Year 5 children and staff from Northwood and St Michael and All Angels flew off from Liverpool Airport today, destination MADRID! They arrived safely and Mr Sadler checked in with Ms Murphy around 5pm today to say they were about to go out to eat and visit a local park. Stay safe and soak up all the new experiences!
On Wednesday 18th May Northwood will be completing, 'A Mile in May.' Raising money to support Centre 63's Youth Club and all the valuable work that they do to support children in our community! Please sponsor your child.

The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. πŸ‘Έ

Northwood will be celebrating the Queen's Jubilee in style on Friday 27th May.

To celebrate, we will be having a traditional British style lunch and we will be organising a 'Dancing Through the Decades' event to link Music and History for the Queen's Jubilee.

The aim is for each year group to focus on a decade from the past 70 years. Children can come to school dressed as people did in the decade that they are focusing on. We will be able to see children dressed from different decades during our special 'Street Party’ lunch.

Each year group will focus on specific singers/ musicians that were famous from that decade and have a time slot in the hall to dance to music from that decade. We are hoping that this will give children experiences of different genres of music that the Queen listened to during her reign in each decade.
Year 6 are enjoying their trip to Ten Pin to celebrate all of their hard work this year! 🎳
Congratulations to our Year 6 children on completing their SATS this week. They were outstanding in their behaviour, dedication and effort. We are truly grateful for parents, carers and staff who have supported them through this - they are clearly destined for great things!

Supporting children and families to overcome barriers, believe in themselves and achieve big things!

If you’ve been watching the current series of Waterloo Road on BBC One you may have seen a pupil receiving a diagnosis of ADHD in a recent episode. At the point the diagnosis was given, the deputy head teacher advised an EHC plan could now be applied for, and the teacher also sought permission to apply from the professional who gave the diagnosis.

⬆️ THIS IS INCORRECT ⬆️

There is no requirement to have a diagnosis in order to apply for an EHC needs assessment (the first step to getting an EHC plan) - and there is no need for any professionals at all to give permission to apply. The legal test in s36(8) CFA sets a relatively low threshold and parents can (and should!) apply themselves.

Goodbye and good luck!

On Thursday we said goodbye to our Year 6 leavers and their families, who will be moving on to High School. We have loved every minute with our Year 6 and are very proud of who they have become and what they have achieved for themselves this year. Our leavers assembly was a real tear jerker and it was lovely to see it so well attended and supported by our parents, carers and families.

We also said farewell to the much valued members of our school staff who are moving on to new adventures. Mrs Whitehall, Ms. Correl, Ms. Malkin and Ms. Oluwabiyi are leaving us for the next exciting phase of their careers and they take our heartfelt thanks and best wishes with them.

We would like to thank everyone associated with our school community for their support and help this year and wish you all a safe and restful summer break.

17/07/2023

Reminder to all parents and carers that school closes at 1:30pm on Thursday for our summer break. Children will have lunch first and then will be collected at 1:30pm.
