Dear Parents, I would like to thank you for your continued support over the past few days whilst our Ofsted inspector was here. The children were well behaved and showed Ms Hannon how well they were working. Thank you also to staff and Governors for the extra hard work and commitment during this time. I anticipate the report will arrive for publication just after Easter and will keep you informed. The next inspection will be a Church school inspection (SIAS) which we think could be quite soon!! It was lovely visiting the woods this morning for the eclipse. Despite not being easily visible, the temperature lowered considerably and the birds became a little quieter. Thank you to Mr Wiggins and his estate manager for the privilege of walking in his beautiful woods. Monday sees all Year 5/6 in action at Uffculme in the Tag Rugby Festival. We wish them well. Year 3 children from Webber’s and Burlescombe are representing The Valley Partnership at the Cathedral in Exeter on Monday. This will be followed by a picnic and reflective walk to the river, past some of Exeter’s famous historic places – the house that moved and the city walls.
