The Appleton Echo
Autumn Term 1, Week 4
A Word from Mr Broom
As you can see from the photos below, it's been a wonderful week in school. So much exploration of learning and development of independence and leadership. A huge thank you to the team for their work on getting the Junior Leadership Team and Sports Leaders up and running. The children are really enjoying their new roles.
Next week promises to be even more fun. Year 5/6 are heading to the Viking Centre and we also look forward to welcoming some of our ex-pupils from Year 7 as they volunteer in school.
Have as lovely weekend everyone.

OfSTED Parent View
We start the new academic year expecting an Ofsted Inspection at some point in the year. We are certainly well overdue!
You can really help us by completing the Ofsted Parent View online survey. It's a short series of questions that should take you no longer than 10 minutes. Of course, when we do get the call, you'll get another opportunity to share your views.

Staff Shout Outs
I've had a few messages from parents/carers asking about how they can send a staff shoutout for a staff team. It's great that you think about them and really does help to raise morale.
