End of Term Dates

I wrote in November of last year to make parents aware that we were planning to finish the summer term with two staff professional development days and therefore children would not be in school for the 21st and 22nd of July.  The proposal was unfortunately turned down by Cabinet and therefore we will only be able to hold one pd day on Tuesday 22nd July.  Therefore children will now be expected to attend school on Monday 21st July.

 

I know this may cause problems for some families who might have already made commitments or booked holidays for this time.  Please do not hesitate to contact me at school if this is the case so we can discuss this further.

 

Sorry for the confusion and if you need any further information or have any concerns please do not hesitate to contact me at school.

 

Matthew.

CHANGES TO END OF TERM DATES FOR PUPILS - SUMMER 2008

CHANGES TO END OF TERM DATES FOR PUPILS

 

Dear parents/carers,

 

As a school we have just been asked to include a further teacher training day (a non-pupil day) to prepare for some new changes to the curriculum we offer.  We have been encouraged to set a date as close to existing school holidays and a proposed National Curriculum planning day on Tuesday 22nd July.  It would therefore make good sense to use Monday 21st July for the extra non pupil day and therefore would mean the last day of the summer term for children would be Friday 18th July 2008.

 

We hope this will allow time to plan summer holidays and I hope you agree that it is a logical end to the term for students on a Friday rather than return for a single day.

 

If you need any further information or have any concerns please do not hesitate to contact me at school.

 

Kind regards,

Matthew Brakenbury

Deputy Headteacher

STUDENTS PLAYING FOR SUCCESS AT ITFC

STUDENTS PLAYING FOR SUCCESS AT ITFC - 14TH JULY 2007

Saturday 14th July saw students from Thomas Wolsey given VIP treatment as they graduated through the Ipswich Town Playing for Success Scheme.  The initiative, funded by the DfES, aims to raise attainment in literacy, numeracy and ICT and has also linked into student's individual IEP targets.

During the graduation day children took a full part in the outdoor activities on offer, breaking personal records on the speed shot and taking on the crossbar challenge.

These activities were followed by a presentation where children met club chairman David Sheepshanks and football players, receiving medals and individual prizes.

We look forward to working closely again with Ipswich Town next year, with more children taking up the opportunity to 'play for success'!

SPORTS DAY - TUESDAY 17TH JULY

SECOND TIME LUCKY FOR SPORTS DAY!

A massive well done to all those that took part in sports day on Tuesday afternoon.  After the disappointment of the previous week when rain won the day I am pleased to say that everything went ahead as rearranged for Tuesday afternoon.  Although it wasn't without it's scares as the heavens opened half way through the races and we had to move inside to the gym.  Although not ideal the gym provided a fantastic atmosphere with the spectators so close to the action ( I am pleased to say all parents, families and friend left with feet and legs intact)!

Well done to Gipping House for winning the field events and to Deben House which won the track events on Tuesday.  When all the combined points were added up we were left with our overall winners for 2007 - GIPPING!

Well done to all our competitors for all your performances together with your support for not only those in your house but for all athletes.  Also a big thank you to everybody that came to support from speaking with the children it made a real difference to them for you to be there and to share in their achievements!

Here's to another successful sports day next year and hopefully a dry one too!
