 Hopefully you have all received the report on the recent governors’ survey of parents (click here). It was our best ever response to a survey and there is a lot of good news in the data. All the staff are happy that parents have recognised the great work they have been doing over the last year. We also recognise and greatly appreciate the amazing work parents have done in keeping your children learning.

 Ian Wright is an inspiration to me and his documentary Ian Wright: Home Truths is really powerful. In it he describes the awful abuse he suffered as a child and his journey to understand what happened. I wanted to recommend it to all staff, parents and governors who feel able to watch it; as it shows how important school can be in child’s life.
The special treatment Ian Wright got from his beloved teacher Mr Pigden was the first kindness from a man he had experienced and it saved him. The staff at the striker’s old school explain how they work now to support children brilliantly. Ian points out that not all schools provide that kind of help. Thankfully, no one at Morda is going through the terrible abuse that Ian suffered. But we all face difficulties in our lives and our families at some point. Staff do their best to notice when children are struggling, we all want to help. This inspiring film will push us to remember to take the time to listen to children and parents and to do our best to make a difference. Health Warning It is a bit of a tough watch at times and for anyone who has had similar experiences of childhood trauma like Ian’s it might be very difficult. Mr E :-)  We've worked hard, with a lot of support from Shropshire Council, to build a new website. Why? Because the old one can't do the things we want to do. This new Weebly site will allow teachers to post exciting pictures, videos and explanations of the children's learning more easily.
Many parents say that they ask their child what they did at school today and the reply is "nothing" which always gives staff a giggle! Well with the new website you'll be able to ask the children better questions like "Did you enjoy the Pharoah visitng your classroom today?" We will be posting a lot more learning related material. You can already see in the Our Learning section all the ideas and plans we have for each subject. "Our Learning In Action" has blog pages for each class were teachers will post some important evidence of the children's learning: the kind of thing that you can't see in books. This will give the whole school community a really good insight into what's happening much like the display boards around the school. |
