Sorry for the delay, yesterday I received an email from Mr. Hale with an update to some of the issues discussed at his meeting earlier this month. Here are Mr. Hale's comment:
"Just a couple of points regarding the blog you have set up and feedback from the Headteacher’s meeting.
Regarding the KS2 playground there are a couple of differences, the shed has moved from one side to the other to enable placement of a mini trampoline, the children elected not to have a climbing wall but preferred ‘Monkey Bars’ which has been an addition to the original plan, basket ball hoops are now being fitted above the football goals and chalk boards are being installed by the shaded area.
Regarding Extended Services, the funding will finish, however we have funds to extend the service at least until the end of this academic year and I expect that some of it will move us into the next academic year. The cluster schools will be meeting to establish a way forward on this issue. Where you state information was not provided to us is fair enough, however not that it was not provided, but more that there is no information to provide at this moment.
With reference to ‘outings’, the funds from school, Friends of Avonmore and contributions requested per ‘outing’ are for visits and/or visitors, e.g. Year 2 have had ‘Florence Nightingale’ and a ‘Victorian Toys Workshop’ come to visit. I thought I did make it fairly clear that while we would like classes to go on a trip (I would certainly encourage it for KS1 and KS2 classes) out of school, classes do not have to." --Mr. Hale
