• Big Bang Science Fair

  Fri 18 Mar 2022

  This week, eight Year 6 children  took part in the Big Bang Science Fair at Herts & Essex school. 

  The competition called for groups of students from primary schools across Hertfordshire to put together a demonstration of scientific knowledge and experimentation. It was an all day event and throughout the competition, each of these children represented Summercroft with the utmost confidence and integrity while sharing their science projects with a very large audience, which included secondary school students, 6th form students, teachers and judges who came with a science background. 

  All three groups worked extremely hard to put together three engaging and creative experiments. We are so proud of them all.

  Well done to Ananya, Lloyd Meha, Harry C, Rohan, Dylan B, Aimi and Ajna and a special shout out to Produce Power (Rohan, Dylan B and Aimi) for winning the best all-around project for KS2.

• Netball Competition

  On Thursday 17th March, Summercroft's netball team participated in the Birchwood School netball tournament. The two teams played very well throughout the group stages. Unfortunately, the teams had to play each other in the semi-final! Team A proceeded to the final after beating Team B 2-1. They went on to win the final after convincingly beating local rivals Northgate, ​7-0. Everyone played very well and our teachers were very proud of our successes.

• Follow Up to Ofsted Parent View Survey 2020/21

  Fri 22 Oct 2021

  The governors considered the responses at their meeting in July and asked Mr Jess to come up with ideas to improve certain things. The following has been agreed:-

   

  Changes will be made to the Anti-Bullying Charter so that everyone understands the process of identifying and dealing quickly and effectively with bullying.  Anti-bullying will be a focus on the School Improvement Plan and the children will be involved in writing a new policy.

   

  To show you that the school has high expectations, you will be sent typical examples of what the children are expected to achieve in writing and maths by the end of the academic year and these will also be available on the website.  

   

  To ensure that you know how your child is doing, there will be a clear structure to conversations at parents’ evenings and teachers will use consistent language across the school to discuss a child’s progress and achievement.

   

  Just to clarify about after school clubs, the staff are not asked to run them so that they can use the time for lesoon planning and assessment.  We are offering an increased number of external clubs now that the Covid-19 restrictions have eased.

   

  This has been a productive exercise and the governors aim to run it again this year.
