Keep up to date with information on events happening in school.
At 9am, on Thursday 15th October, there will be a meeting in the school hall for all families who form part of our 'Premium Club'. Individual invitation letters will be sent home before the meeting.
Our Premium Club ran very successfully last year, providing children with, for example, additional books and learning resources for home; membership of the Trilogy leisure centres to access, for example, free swimming lessons and music tuition.
For all children who are entitled to free school meals (not as part of the universal offer for our younger children) we receive £1300 of funding. We use this funding to ensure that the children access as many opportunities as possible and ensure they achieve all that they possibly can whilst at Earl Spencer.
Please do look out for the letter home this week, which will provide more information.
Our Young Ambassadors play a very important role in our school. They show visitors around; assist on Parents’ Evenings and carry out surveys and questionnaires.
Over the past 3 weeks, over 80 children from across Key Stage 2 came along to interview for the post for this year. It was fantastic to have the pleasure of hearing all of them talking with such confidence and happiness about life at Earl Spencer.
In Merit Assembly on Friday, our new Young Ambassadors for 2015/16 were announced. Congratulations to the following children:
Year 3- Skaiste and Aadil; Year 4 – Ben and Manira; Year 5– Arif and Shanay; Year 6– Sara and Zaheed
We are proud to sit at the heart of the Spencer Estate, with our school representing the diversity of our local community.
We currently have 23 languages spoken at the school, with individual support staff employed to assist the development of groups and individuals.
We also have a group of ‘Young Translators’ who will meet up regularly with children from schools across the town and train to support with translating at our school.
We believe that our ‘Young Translators’ have language and interpersonal skills to assist with, for example, showing new pupils and parents around the school and helping new-to-English pupils make themselves understood.
