Welcome to the first Parkland Post of the new academic year and welcome back to what is going to be an amazing year!  As you will have seen, we have shared our brilliant Ofsted report which was published this week.  We are incredibly proud of the hard work and determination every single member of our school community has put in and that Parkland has been recognised as a haven for our community.  Next week, we are holding a Meet the Teacher event (see details below) so you can put a face to a name which will help us to continue to build good relationships with you, our families.

I have been so impressed with the way our children have settled back into academy life, they bound down the path each morning and their focus in lessons is wonderful to see.  Keep an eye on ClassDojo for photographs and stories about what your children are getting up to!

Welcome to the final Parkland Post of the year and what a year it has been!  I am such a proud Headteacher, our children and families are at the heart of everything we do.  It was lovely to see so many of you at this morning's Celebration Assembly, our academy is a stronger place when we have our families with us.  Yesterday's Summer Fair was lots of fun with a wide variety of stalls on offer.  Our classes had a competition to see who could 'Grow a Fiver' as part of our enterprise and careers related learning - see which classes managed the largest totals below!  

Welcome to this week's Parkland Post in what has been another incredibly busy week!  We are hurtling towards the summer holidays and we have lots of events coming up over the next two weeks so please remember to look at our Key Events page on our website to stay up to date.  I have been fortunate to be able to listen to our Year 6 cast of High School Musical which is going to be performed next week.  The quality of singing, acting and dancing is just amazing and I have had the songs going round in my head all week long!  

Welcome to this week's Parkland Post - we have had another busy time with lots going on in and out of the academy!  I have been so proud of the way our pupils have been switched onto learning and how they have interacted with our visitors to the academy this week.  We gave away some reading vending machine tokens today for those children who are working hard with their reading this half term so far.  I always love to see which books they choose and the enormous smiles they have when deciding! 

Welcome to the final Parkland Post of Summer 1 and what a half term it has been!  We have had a brand new build and outdoor provision built for Early Years, two successful Parents' Evenings where we could share news of how well your children are doing, Year 6 and Year 2 have done us proud with their SATs, trips for Years 1 and 3 and pedestrian training for Year 3.  We have so much planned for the final half term including a Pantomime on Monday the 2nd June!  M&M Productions are coming to perform 'A Little Princess' which tells a tale of bullying, challenging times and friendship.  We will have the popcorn at the ready to launch what will be our best half term!

Welcome to this week's Parkland Post!  It has been a very busy week with the construction of our new Early Years provision starting.  The children have loved checking in with the progress and are getting more and more excited as the days go along!  Year 6 had a brain busting day with a company called PET-Xi who did a wide range of maths revision activities before their SATS begin next week - they looked exhausted by the end of the day yesterday!
