CONGRATULATIONS

HARRY & MEGHAN

Punctuality Congratulations for to Sycamore House this week who recorded 4 late marks. Oak were just behind them with
5 whilst Chestnut trailed with 8. This week has been an important week for year 6 so it was disappointing to
see so many year 6 pupils arriving late.

Thank you and well done to 3ED, 3FS and 6AL who did all manage to get in on time.

Congratulations also go to Sporsho B who received the personal Attendance Award this week for 100%
attendance so far this year.

PSQM Press Release

Bilton C of E Junior School Awarded Primary Science Quality Mark

Schools Awarded Primary Science Quality Mark

WELL DONE MS. DAVIES

In May Primary Science Quality Awards have been awarded to 180 infant, junior, primary, middle and special schools to
celebrate a commitment to excellence in science teaching and learning. So far, since its national launch in 2010, almost
2800 schools across the UK have achieved the award.

The Primary School Quality Mark scheme enables schools to work together to share good practice and is supported by
professional development led by local experts. It encourages teacher autonomy and innovation while at the same time
offering a clear framework for development in science subject leadership, teaching and learning.

The Primary Science Quality Mark is led by the University of Hertfordshire, School of Education in partnership with the
Primary Science Teaching Trust. It is supported by the Royal Society for Chemistry, the Ogden Trust and the Association for
Science Education.

Jane Turner, PSQM National Director said: “Gaining a Primary Science Quality Award is a significant achievement for a
school. The profile and quality of science teaching and learning in each awarded school is very high. Children are engaging
with great science both in and outside the classroom, developing positive attitudes towards science as well as secure
science understanding and skills. Science subject leaders, their colleagues, head teachers, children, parents and governors
should be very proud.”

Walk to School Week from the 21st -24th May

We will be taking part in Walk to School Week and we invite you to join us! From the 21 st -24 th May we are
encouraging as many children and parents to walk to school as possible. This includes walking/cycling the whole
journey or simply parking further away from school and walking in.
Thank you
Happy walking!
