We’ve cancelled the village coffee morning on Saturday 28th September for the very best of reasons!

We won’t be holding a coffee morning on 28th September for the very best reason.   And that is because Adderley School are holding a Macmillan Coffee Morning on Friday afternoon, the 27th September  3.15pm – 5.30pm in the village hall and they would really appreciate your support if you can make it.

Its a particularly poignant gesture to support someone associated with the school who has had a recent diagnosis, and it would be wonderful if you could support.   There will be cakes, raffle, good conversation and a chance to support this wonderful charity and our village school at the same time.

If you would like to make a donation of any kind, from cakes and raffle prizes to some money towards this good cause please contact Vicky Hankey on 07464198755 or you can click on the hashtag in the poster below which will enable you to make an electronic donation.  

We hope to see you there next Friday afternoon if you can.  

Adderley School ‘Outstanding’ Ofsted results 2024

The recent Ofsted inspection on 11th and 12th June has given the school ‘outstanding’.

The summary of the report is below, for more information see the link to the school’s web site.

Pupils flourish at this inclusive and nurturing school. Staff have created a caring and supportive environment where everyone is respected. Relationships between staff and pupils are highly positive.

Staff are united in their ambition for every pupil to achieve their full potential. Pupils make strong progress as a result of the well-planned curriculum and high-quality, personalised teaching. Pupils remember what they have been taught in past years and talk about current learning with enthusiasm and interest.

Pupils’ behaviour and attitudes are excellent. They are respectful, well mannered and polite. Pupils enjoy their learning and are proud of their school. They know that adults listen to their concerns and help them. There is a strong sense of belonging and togetherness. This is demonstrated in the genuine care pupils show towards each other.

Pupils take part in a range of inclusive extra-curricular activities, including fencing, archery and ultimate frisbee. They are enthusiastic to take on jobs that require them to help others, such as play leaders. Parents are very positive about the school and value the school’s proactive approach in supporting every pupil to be the best that they can be.

Santa Paid Us A Visit

Santa and Mrs Claus

Well! Santa and Mrs Claus paid Adderley a visit on Friday night. He brought the elves and they looked at the lights and the lovely tree then he came and talked to the children. It was a memorable evening.

This year we had Pizzas from Mortzarella (they were very good) and there were all sorts of things for the children to do in the Village Hall provided by St Peter’s School and Adderley Tots Stay and Play.

The volunteers worked very hard and a lovely time was had by all.
