Month: March 2017

We would like to congratulate Mrs Rachel Williams who has been voted our new Parent Governor. Mrs Williams has two sons at Victoria, Joseph and Ralphie.

We had the Arts Council film crew in on Friday filming our wonderfully creative year 5 pupils as part of our lead creative school project. We are over the moon that the Arts Council has recognised the project at Victoria School as an example of excellent practice.

As part of our three year project with Sustrans Active Journeys, we are encouraging as many pupils as possible to actively travel to school. In school we have organised scooter workshops for Tuesday 21st March (letters to be given out on Monday) to ensure our children are safe and respectful on their scooters and to encourage more pupils to use them to travel to school.

At the moment 38% of our children actively travel to school and Sustrans have an ambitious target to aim for 50%!

So, we have planned a ‘Big Shift’ week in school from Monday 27th – Friday 31st March to see if we can get 50% of pupils travelling to school actively.

We have purchased scooter racks in school to accommodate all the extra scooters that will hopefully be used in the future!

Each class will be collecting travel data during the week and the winning class will be receiving a very special prize!

Even 1 active journey to school during the week will make a difference.

Thank you.

We had a fantastic Eisteddfod in school this week organised by Mrs Andrews. Well done to everyone who entered the competitions – the standard was very high this year. Well done to Aran House who won the Eisteddfod Shield. Here are some of our winners:
