Marwood School - Information & Reminders
Children in years 2 and 6 have taken their SATs and I want to congratulate them for all their hard work. The Staff and I at the school are proud of all the children’s achievements and have been working hard to ensure the school’s curriculum covers a wide range, including: art, music, drama and sport for all children. Since I last wrote the government have decided that schools will not be forced to become academies if they are good or outstanding and meet the necessary targets set for the children in the national tests. Marwood School is in partnership with a group of local schools to explore collaborative working and shared values. The aim is for children, parents, governors and staff to benefit from sharing good practice. Key Dates: Year 1 children phonics screening will take place in the week beginning 13
th June.
Marwood School Association (MSA) is planning a family weekend camp at Lee Meadow Campsite Friday 24
th to
Sunday 26th June. There will be an organised
fundraising ‘Firewalk’ if you are brave enough! Sports day is Wednesday 6
th July 1.15pm start.

a valuable asset for the whole Community. However, nothing runs itself, and we need new members on our Hall Committee. The time commitment is not great and it is fun and rewarding. If you are interested please contact myself or any other Committee member. The next Hall Charity AGM is in the Hall on Tuesday 12th July, 7 for 7:30pm.
