m/stmarksbilton/ Spring Fever has been taught over the past weeks and I would be very interested
how you feel it has gone. Thanks to those parents who have already done so. I
have had lots of positive feedback from children and staff and it has enabled some
open, honest and frank discussions. Many parents, too, have felt it has
encouraged discussions at home. Jonny Hunt who is a Warwickshire SRE
consultant has also asked for feedback and had given us an update on the programme for
next year as it is being updated this coming April. Next year it is going to be law to teach
Relationships education. The new programme is based on the ethos and evidence
of Spring Fever but the content will be different. The licence Warwickshire has with Rutgers
has run out and in the light of the new guidance due in 2019 they decided to develop their
own, based on the evidence for Spring Fever, joining it together with the evidence and good
practice of the Taking Care programme (which we run in October at BJS). Parents will still
have the right to remove their children from the programme. Next year we will have
another parents meeting in plenty of time for the launch in 2019. Please email me
on [email protected] if you have any particular feedback that you think would
be helpful.

Thanks for your enquiries re our Ofsted report. We are still awaiting the formal outcome of
our OFSTED section 8 inspection we had on 14th February. I will let you know the outcome
as soon as I am able to.

I have the freedom and choice to be ambitious for my future

Incidents concerning your children

I do not wish what I am about to ask to seem like I am not interested in your children and their
welfare...hopefully you know me enough now to know that is far from the truth!

If there is a concern that you have regarding a classroom issue or a fall out between children I
would ask that you contact the office who will pass your query/concern to your child's class teacher.

If you have tried that and there has been no improvement then please feel free to contact my Assis-
tant Heads- Yr 3/4 Mrs Thompson or Yr 5/6 Miss Lewis. In addition to that you may wish to speak to
Mrs Hodgson our Family Support worker, who is an expert in dealing with children who fall out or
who are concerned about another child being unkind to them.

If you query is of a more serious nature, then please contact my Deputy Head, Mrs Webb or myself.

Thank you

National Science Week

Next week we are taking part In National
Science week. This year’s theme is explorers
and exploration. We have an exciting start
to the week with Ian Bates (one of our parent
scientists) from Coventry University, who is
bringing some of his demonstrations from
the Big Bang Fair to share with everyone in
assembly on Monday morning. Teachers have prepared exciting
activities for the children related to the theme and children will be
sharing their discoveries with their mentors and mentees at the end of
the week. It promises to be an exciting week full of science.

If you are keen to explore further, the Big Bang Fair is on at the NEC
from March 14th - 17th.

Happy Exploring.

Ellen Davies

(Science Lead)

Young Carers

We work closely with the Young Carers organisation and are proud to be the
first primary school in Warwickshire to achieve their Gold School’s Award!

Young Carers do an amazing job supporting young people who are in a caring
role. The project describe a YoungCarer as 'a young person who lives with
someone who has an illness, disability, mental health or substance misuse
problem'.

If you think this project could help a young person in your life, have a look at
the link and if you have any questions or would like a referral making, either contact me
in school or contact the project direct www.warwickshireyoungcarers.org.uk
