Dear Parents/Carers,

On Wednesday 29th November there will be a parents' consultation meeting in the Community Room between 2:30-3:00pm.

The aim of the meeting is to provide parents/carers with information in regard to the upcoming RSE units for Years 2-6. There will be opportunities to ask questions, find out more about our RSE curriculum, as well as a chance to look at some of the resources that we use.

For anyone that is unable to attend, the materials used will be shared on our school website.

Yours sincerely,

Miss Pinch and Mrs Hopkins

Ofsted Report

On the 26^th and 27^th of September, Co-op Academy Woodlands was inspected by Ofsted.

The inspectors carried out their inspection over the two days, which included deep dives into various subjects, lesson visits, discussions with staff and pupils, meetings with school leaders and scrutiny of work undertaken by children. They met with the headteacher, deputy headteacher, members of the governing body, other external agencies, spoke with parents, and reviewed documentation provided by the school. More of what inspectors looked at can be found within the official report which can be found here.

The inspectors concluded that Co-op Academy Woodlands is GOOD in all areas (Quality of Education, Behaviour and Attitudes, Personal Development, Leadership and Management and Early Years Provision), resulting in an Overall Effectiveness of GOOD for the school.

We are very proud of everyone in Team Woodlands for what they do, every day for our children and families and hope you share this feeling too.

Attendance Pop-Up Shop

Everyday your child attends school, they will earn money to spend in our Pop-Up Shop! This is something the children have asked for and have promised they are going to try their hardest to be at school every day.

If your child is in school every day until the end of term, they can earn up to £10 to spend at the shop. This will be reduced if they have a day off.

We are mindful that some absences are authorised and therefore the children will not lose out. For example an illness supported by medical proof of a GP appointment or a visit to a pharmacy, a hospital appointment if we have proof of the day and time of the appointment etc.

Children will have less to spend if they have unauthorised absence, for example illness with no proof of medical appointments, days off school with no explanation, holidays in term time, arriving to school late etc.

The children are very excited to spend lots of money in the shop and they need your support to ensure they can be in school every day!
