New Community Governor this term is Sarah Thackeray, who is also our Connexions Worker
looking at post-school placements) – so she will be an excellent addition.
There is currently a Parent Governor vacancy. The nomination forms will be coming out in
April, so please think hard about this. You would be joining a successful governing body at a
very exciting time in the school’s history.
Spellathon
This happened last Tuesday, and is a national event that we take part in, to raise money both
for Mencap and for ourselves. It is to the credit of the students that so many of them do so
well, and are able to take the test (in silence!), and spell so many words.
Tsunami Appeal
Thank you to all those who contributed towards this appeal. We collected school items for shoe
boxes to be sent out to children in affected areas, and altogether we were able to contribute
21 boxes – which is a fabulous effort! They have now been sent via Radio Leicester.

Reception Class
The class for our younger pupils is having a makeover! The room has been re-decorated, and we
have just ordered the first part of a new project, which is to create an area of the room
designed particularly for the needs of children with visual impairment. This is an innovative
project, and will be extremely useful for many of our pupils. Please contact me if you would
like a look.
