The 'Whatever Moves You: Do it for Sport Relief' House Trophy will be presented to the House with the most steps!

Ofsted Inspection 2017We are very pleased and proud to inform you that our school has been judged to be Good by Ofsted in our recent inspection (January 2017). The key findings are included in the report, in letter form, which can be found via a link on our home page.
As we received just a short inspection, the report does not break down the findings into the key areas (Leadership & management, Quality of teaching, learning & assessment, Personal development, Behaviour & welfare, Outcomes for pupils and Early years provision) however, these areas were inspected and are mentioned in the findings. Securing the judgement of Good is a testament to the hard work and commitment of our pupils, staff and governors. We have improved since the last inspection (October 2012) and going forward, we shall continue to work hard and strive to successfully address the areas identified in the report. We are ambitious at Hathern. It is the aim of the school and the governors to be an outstanding school and this judgement and extremely positive report is a significant step towards achieving this in the future. |
Total miles for the week: 951.388 milesThere have been a number of staff changes in recent months, including the appointment of a new deputy headteacher. New teachers have settled quickly and are already making a positive impact on the quality of learning. Significant building work, inside and outside the school, has not impeded the pace of improvement. Pupils and staff are enjoying the new classrooms and space that the building work has produced. |
Building developments 2016
If you have visited the school recently, you can't fail to have noticed that we are having extensive buildings works undertaken. The builders arrived on site in early July and have been working extremely hard to provide us with a larger school better able to accommodate our growing population. The build should be completed just in time for Christmas — and by then we should have an extended classroom, larger hall, bigger playground, two new classrooms, redesigned office and staffroom, new roof and more parking spaces.
We have already had to make changes in the way we use the site as more and more of the school is fenced off for safety reasons, providing a managed working space for the building contractors. With the contractors taking up a lot of the school car park, there will be even greater pressure on the available parking spaces along Pasture Lane so I would urge you to either park further away from the school or walk if possible. Extra care should be taken on the approach to school as increased traffic raises the risk to pupil safety.

Floods at Hathern!
On June 25th (2016), rain fell with such intensity that the village and more importantly, the school, became flooded at both Cross Street and Pasture Lane. The damage was thankfully kept to a minimum thanks to the hard work of staff who moved electronic items away from affected areas and were quick to help with the mopping up effort!
Rotary Club Donation
President David Fountain (left) and Rodger Hutchinson from the Rotary Club of Shepshed, Charnwood received some valuable training in construction techniques when they visited the school.
They were instructed in the finer points of Lego block building by the members of the school council. These pupils are elected by their peers to discuss issues and ideas from their own classes, and then feed back any decisions made.
One such idea was to purchase a quantity of building blocks that could be used by the school to help develop social and communication skills whilst also having some fun. Mrs Dryden has already started her lunchtime Lego Club!
The Rotary club were pleased to be able to donate a sum of money to this worthwhile project. The money came from part of the collection taken locally by Santa and the Rotary float and Headteacher Stephen Dunn and School Council coordinator Rachel Abbott thanked all who had contributed.
