Dear Parents and Carers,
This week, we could not be prouder of our incredible Year 6 children as they completed their SATs assessments. Throughout the week, they showed such maturity, determination and teamwork going into each assessment. They supported one another brilliantly, demonstrated resilience and approached every challenge with positivity and confidence. Superstars!
A huge thank you must also go to the wonderful adults around them who have helped prepare and support them throughout the year. From teachers and teaching assistants to families at home, your encouragement and care have made such a difference.
We would also like to say a special thank you to our amazing kitchen team, who came in early each morning to prepare incredible breakfasts for the children. From fresh fruit platters and waffles to bacon rolls, the children were so well looked after and it created such a positive and calm start to each day. Thank you also to the staff who arrived early to support, encourage and reassure the children before the assessments began.
We would also like to say a huge thank you to Ann Gregory, Lea Churchill and Emma Baynham for giving up their time to support our children with their SATs. Your help, encouragement and dedication are greatly appreciated by both the children and staff. What a team we have here at Pilton Bluecoat Academy, working together to help our children feel confident, cared for and ready to succeed.
Well done as well to the children who took part in the Aquathlon event today. The children represented themselves and the school so well, demonstrating excellent sportsmanship, determination and encouragement towards others.
As a former pupil of Pilton Bluecoat C of E Academy, our thoughts are with the family of Taylor Charlton, the 14-year-old currently missing in Barnstaple. We hope that Taylor is found safe and well very soon. Should you have any information, please contact 999 quoting 50260117084.
As a school, we also want to continue reinforcing the importance of our core values and how we treat one another. Recently, we have had some incidents where children have not shown kindness towards others. At Pilton Bluecoat C of E Academy, we believe strongly in looking after each other, showing respect and living out our values each day.
Please do speak to your children about the importance of kindness and how we care for one another. We regularly encourage children to talk things through, seek support from friends or trusted adults and work together to resolve problems positively. These are important life skills that we continue to promote across the school.
Thank you, as always, for your continued support.
Warm regards,
Mathew Harts
Head of School
