We’re Ready for the 11+ Changes
With the Trafford Grammar School Consortium introducing a new assessment framework, we have adapted our 11+ Preparation Programme to ensure our pupils are well prepared for the changes ahead.
But while the assessment may be changing, our approach to the core curriculum remains the same. We have always placed great importance on ensuring our pupils leave us with strong English and Maths skills. We have never believed in just teaching children how to sit a test, but to instill them with the skills to problem solve and approach any type of question.
A new addition to our 11+ preparation this year is the appointment of Mrs Fielding, our new English Specialist Teacher in Year 5. Mrs Fielding works with small groups of pupils, providing focused support and helping to further develop their English skills.
So, while we are adapting our preparation in line with the new framework, we are also continuing to do what we have always done, which is preparing children for the next stage of their education and not just the next test.

Year 2 Multisports Event
On Friday we were pleased to welcome fellow Year 2 pupils from Forest Park to join us for a multisports tournament.
A special mention to our young leaders from Year 6 who were outstanding in organising games and encouraging play.
A great morning of activities showing off skills, confidence and teamwork. All rounded off with a hot chocolate, slice of dishes and Chef Simon’s homemade honey flapjack!
