Latest News- A Message from Mrs Staniland
A message from Gareth Nation
The start of 2020 - 2021 at Buckland St. Mary C of E Primary School has been an incredibly successful one thanks to the unwavering support from every member of staff. Mrs K Henning and Mr A Kalopsideotis have not only settled brilliantly but are having a direct impact on the children’s progress thanks to their commitment and dedication to the children. Mr Kalopsideotis supported Beech Class with elevation drawings last week - we were blown away by the outcomes! Modern Foreign Language is evident in every class thanks to Mrs Hennings hard work and determination. Miss Katie Sulivan has seamlessly become part of the team and has ensured the children in EYFS have had such a positive start to their school career. Despite the obvious setbacks from last year, our revised approach to the national curriculum has taken off with pace. The teachers should feel very proud of what they’ve achieved in such a short time. We have a robust, experience based curriculum which every child who attends Buckland School benefits from. Miss Rogers (DCEO) and Mr Handscomb (Director of Teaching and Learning) were impressed with what they saw when they visited Buckland School last Wednesday. Well done to all the staff and of course the children - Buckland is going from strength to strength!
Forest School sessions have been superb. The team from ROAM have been working with the children each week and the smell of fire and toasted marshmallows is now a familiar one. Premier Sports continues to provide high quality PE provision for every child. Our Christian Vision is almost tangible across the school and is permeating everything we do.
My thanks to the teachers, to Mrs Cann and all members of the team who continue to work tirelessly ensuring the very best for every child.
Finally, my thanks to Mr Heath-Coleman (Estates and Contract Manager) for securing the bid for and organising the installation of the new roof at Buckland School, I’m sure you’ll agree it looks fantastic!
Wishing you all an enjoyable half term.
