• Early Collections

  Wed 18 Oct 2023

  Could we take this time to remind parents that children should only be collected early if this is a pre-arranged time with school or due to a medical appointment where a letter or text has been provided? We understand that sometimes unforeseen circumstances may arise but where possible, please avoid collecting early.

  It is very important children are with us for the whole school day.

• Year 6 - Class of 2023

  Mon 09 Oct 2023

  We would like to take an opportunity to reflect on the exceptional achievements of our class of 2023 Year 6 pupils.
  At the end of KS2, the children in Year 6 sit SATs exams. Our pupils worked exceptionally hard over the course of their time at Walbottle Village and in their final year of primary school to achieve wonderful results which we are so proud of!
  End of KS2 results are as follows:
   Reading- 83% reached the expected standard or above (29% reached the greater depth standard).
   Writing- 83% reached the expected standard or above (29% reached the greater depth standard)
   Maths- 88% reached the expected standard or above (33% reached the greater depth standard)
   Grammar, punctuation and spelling- 88% reached the expected standard or above (50% reached the greater depth standard)
   71% of the cohort reached the expected standard or above in reading, writing and maths combined.
  Our results sit higher than the national figures for children reaching the expected standard or above in all areas. The national figures are as follows:
   Reading- 73%
   Writing- 71%
   Maths- 73%
   Grammar- 72%
   Reading, writing and maths combined- 59% (For Newcastle schools 49%).
  In addition to the children’s incredible academic achievements, we are so proud to have watched them grow and flourish over the course of their time at Walbottle Village. We hope the children can continue to have the same success in secondary school and wish them the best of luck in all their future endeavours.
  We certainly miss them and have been delighted to see some of our children who have popped in to visit us since September.
  Well done class of 2023- we are so proud!!

  

• Halloween Workshop

  Tue 03 Oct 2023

  We have had an amazing response to the one off 'Halloween Crafts Workshop'. I will be letting you know if your child has a place on the workshop advertised for Friday 20th October. These places were allocated on a first come, first served basis.
  
  Due to demand, I have decided to hold 2 more sessions so that all children who replied by today have the opportunity to come to the craft workshop. I will be letting you know if your child has been allocated a place on one of the 2 new dates.
  
  If your child is unable to attend the extra sessions, please let school know.
  
  If you haven't yet paid the £1 for the session, please send it into school before the 19th October.
  
  Thank you for all of your support,
  
  Mrs Sample
