Mr Green’s Fundraising SleepOut Adventure!

I’ve crazily signed up with a group of friends for my first ever SleepOut for LandAid on 2nd March.

LandAid are the property industry charity aiming to end youth homelessness. If you are able to make a donation of any size, it will be massively appreciated by our group and more importantly, the young people who have to sleep outdoors every night. Please follow the link to our team fundraising page: https://join.landaid.org/fundraisers/YorkieSleepers

Your help is warmly appreciatedJonathan Green

Ofsted Monitoring Report

I am delighted to attach our latest Ofsted monitoring visit report.

Although we have not moved out of Special Measures, the report highlights the excellent progress the school has made since the previous monitoring visit and over the past year.

This has been achieved because everyone in school and in our community is focussed on working hard, improvement and support. I am very grateful.

I would also like to thank you for your common sense, patience and never-ending encouragement. Very best wishes – UNS!Jonathan Green

Keen to feel connected to their heroes of sport and showbiz by following their accounts, children are allowed onto Twitter from the age of 13 (while many even younger ones use it unofficially) and are often significantly influenced by what they see there. This week’s #WakeUpWednesday guide tells trusted adults what they need to know about the current incarnation of Twitter.
