Dear Parents and Children
StThomasofCanterburyPrimarySchoolNewsletter
I am delighted to tell you that we are having our Ofsted Inspection next week on Tuesday and Wednesday. This will be our chance to celebrate all the wonderful things that the children have achieved. You will be receiving a questionnaire from the Lead Inspector which needs to be returned after the weekend please. As many of you have already heard on the school grapevine, Mrs. Rayner is retiring and will be leaving at the end of next week. She has requested that a big fuss isnt made and that she is allowed to go quietly. If you want to say your goodbyes to her please pop in to see her on Thursday which is her last day and not before, however tempting that might be! I would like to take this opportunity to publicly thank Mrs. Rayner for all the work she has done for the school and for the support she has given to so many parents, staff and children, past and present, over the years. She is going to be a very hard act to follow! Mrs. J Anderson

Community CAMHS has launched an online survey for children and young people on the Isle of Wight to give feedback on what they want from their Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service. The survey can be reached at www.puzzledout.com by using the code IOW001. As part of the survey, we would also like a child or young person from the Island to design our new service logo. This logo would then be used on all our published material, so it's a big deal! The designer of the logo chosen will win an MP3 player. Details of how to enter the competition are included in the puzzledout survey. Please note that the survey is due to close on Monday 20th February so all entries need to be in by then.
