It has been another busy, fun year at Tidbury Green, with our undoubted highlight being our award of ‘Good’ by Ofsted in March 2013. The end of our Summer Term has been dominated by ‘My Money Week’ and ‘Healthy Week’. During My Money Week pupils across the school learnt about different aspects of money; how to earn it, spend it and hopefully save it! Years 5 and 6 completed a Young Entrepreneur Challenge, where they created and sold cup-cakes, raising £60 for our new library in the process. We also had visitors from a whole spectrum of different careers come into school to talk to the children about their careers. Healthy Week has been a whirlwind of fun, exercise and learning. All pupils have had specific healthy week lessons, where they have learnt about eating healthily, sugar-swaps, exercise and being happy. In addition to this they have had a dodgeball tournament (where they raised money for the British Heart Foundation), skip to be fit lessons, peer massage, exercise classes, golf coaching and a wheels afternoon. With the introduction of our new curriculum in September it looks like next year will be another busy, but exciting one at Tidbury Green School.

We had an Ofsted earlier in the year, and most recently the Local Authority chose us for writing moderation. I am pleased to say that we survived both experiences with flying colours! The Coppice was chosen as part of a sample group in Worcestershire for Year 6 children’s writing to be moderated (moderation took place on Wednesday 5th June). In other words, experts and advisors from the Local Authority descended upon us just to make certain that we are assessing children’s writing correctly.
