Miss Barlow's Weekly Words Lent 4
A week of special visitors... not just the inspectors!
As you will already know, this week Claires Court has been home to four ISI Inspectors who have carried out our Compliance Inspection. Lessons have been observed, books have been seen, policies have been read and pupils have been spoken to - quite a lot to do across three sites, for a school of over 1000 and all in two days!
Not just for these two days, but the girls have really shown good manners and courteousness! We have been focusing on courteousness and the girls really are proving to be model pupils!
The past two days have been very intense and thorough (as they should be!) but what has always stood out, whether in a conversation or when providing evidence, the pupils really are at the heart of everything we do at Claires Court.
On this note, I would like to thank so many of you for completing the school questionnaire that ISI request before they enter into any school. Seeing so many positive responses to our pastoral care, academic provision, school ethos, activities, etc. was quite humbling. I am incredibly proud to be leading Junior Girls at Claires Court and working with such fantastic pupils, colleagues and parents.
Also this week, Year 3 were visited by Grandibs Stefan White (Sylvie's Grandad) who worked for Cadbury. He spoke to the girls about the Bourneville village, how chocolate is made, the production line and answered many questions. The class had the chance to taste different types of chocolate and learned a great deal from the visit - thank you to Grandibs Stefan for taking the time to visit us!
The Reception class have been scientists this week investigating melting ice cubes whilst in Year 2 Jelly has been the topic of experimenting!
Merit Certificates Sorcha (Reception), Tiana (Year 1), Caitlin (Year 2), Holly (Year 3), Isla (Year 4), Alexandra (Year 5) and Sophie (Year 6).
