What a brilliant day we have had with @mima_yb and @greatathletesuk ! The children loved the fitness circuit and Jemimaโs message that when life knocks us down, we must get back up! A really inspirational morning - itโs not every day you have an Olympian in school ๐ฅ
What an amazing way to start the new school year with the report from our June inspection now published. We know how hard our staff work to make Upton a great school and how brilliant our children are but it is lovely for some of it to come through in the report. โค๏ธ

9th Feb a day about using Podkin in ks2 - with Kieran Larwood, Jamie Thomas and myself. We will be going on a journey, chased by the Gorm! Using a novel to teach writing, reading and drama.
We are looking to recruit play leaders (lunchtime supervisors) to support lunchtimes at school. This would be perfect for someone wanting a small number of hours work per week. Please get in touch with the school if you are interested.
