This Week at Pathway 22/1/24

Message from the Executive Headteacher
 
We’ve had another great week in our schools.
 
We started the week by reminding ourselves of our core Christian Values and the children were challenged to use a value of focus to direct them in their efforts this week. Children who made a special effort and went ‘Above and Beyond’ in their learning were rewarded throughout the week and in our Friday Celebration Worships.
 
Our ‘Be Smart’ focus has gathered pace with children taking pride in their appearance and presentation and making a special effort to move around the school sites with care and consideration.
 
After a very successful week raising the profile of looking smart at Morda, it’s Whittington’s turn next week!
 
Our Local Governing committees, one for Whittington and one for Morda, have met in the last two weeks to discuss Special Educational Needs provision. We are so proud of our inclusive schools and the great work that takes place to support children with additional needs.
 
We’ve navigated some windy weather this week and are hoping it settles for weekend.
 
Many thanks for your continued support.
 
Mr Carl Rogers
Executive Headteacher

​The week at Morda                                                                     
It has been another packed week! As part of our focus on the value of ‘Fairness’, we have been thinking about ‘Treating others as you would like to be treated yourself’. We thought about what this might mean in practise and how we could by following this golden rule in our actions make other people’s lives happier. We also learned the story bible story of the ‘Talents’ and about the festival of Candlemass in our worship. We thought about how we can use out talents for the benefit of others and how we can let our inner light shine.
 
The Morda Local Governing Body Committee met on Wednesday to discuss how we support children with specific needs in school. Mrs Kavanagh our SENDCO presented a report to governors which showed the great work all staff are doing to ensure all our children get the help they need to achieve their best.
 
There has been some great cross curricular writing going on this week, with the Shamrocks writing diaries in role as King Henry IV in hiding in Shrewsbury on the eve of the Battle of Bosworth; the Roses exploring letters written by Roman Wall soldiers from a rainy Hadrian’s wall around 2000 years ago, and the Daffodils writing in role as the ’Fab Four’ at the height of the Beatles fame.  
 
On Friday Year 5 and 6 are taking part in a careers and computing session led by RAF STEM Ambassador Andy Cooksley. They will be finding out about the most up-to-date military computer technology.
 
Wishing you a lovely weekend
 
Mrs Helen Chapman
Head of School
