Mrs Biddlecombe - Finalist in the Pearson Teaching Awards 2012

This year, Mrs Biddlecombe has been named as a finalist in the Pearsons Teaching Awards in the category 'Teacher of the Year in a Primary School'.
We have a panel of judges coming to the school on 9th May and it would be great to be able to show them our fulles possible support for Mrs Biddlecombe. There will be an opportunity for parents who would like to say a word or two to the judges to meet them in person. (Details to follow) However, I would also love to have a blog full of posts in favour of Mrs B's nomination.

Teaching Calculation at St James' CE School - A Guide for Parents

Following a great deal of work and consultation with teachers, parents, advisers and governors, we are pleased to be able to publish four guides for parents to explain clearly how teach the four basic operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division throughout the school.
It shows how we start in Reception and gradually develop and extend the skills through each year of the school.
These are in pdf format so can be read on iPads, tables, smartphones and other mobile devices.
We trust that these will be a useful guide to helping your child(ren) with maths as they grow and flourish through the school.
