Stanmore Post - 27th September 2019

Dear Parents,

This week we have appointed our new House Captains for our four houses. Congratulations!

The House Captains were appointed after an application process. As part of the application process, children in Year 6 were asked to explain what our Keys for Success and the school values: Belonging Excellence Support and Trust mean to them and how they demonstrate them in their daily life at school.

Belonging to a house team, striving for excellence through various competitions, supporting your house team and trusting your team members to do their best for the house is a very real way of bringing our school values to life. The vast majority of our children demonstrate the school values and the keys for success on a daily basis, which made selecting only 8 house captains quite challenging, as you can imagine. Thank you to all of Year 6 who applied and were unsuccessful, there will be other opportunities.

We are continuing to work on our school improvement plan. There is an opportunity for parents to find out more about the key areas for improvement at a meeting on 15.10.19. This event is on the School Calendar. https://www.stanmore.hants.sch.uk/our-school-calendar

One area that we have started to improve is the school building and grounds. Find out more about this at https:// www.stanmore.hants.sch.uk/news/2019/9/27/improving-our-environment-inside-and-out

Best wishes
