Ben Jeffery

Interim Head of Lingwood Primary Academy

Welcome

At Lingwood Primary Academy, we strive to ensure our children have the highest quality education as well as gaining a breath of experiences through our curriculum.


The children at Lingwood Primary are inspired and enthusiastic learners, who are encouraged to step out of their comfort zones and challenge themselves every day.

About us

Learning

Our curriculum is designed to ensure that pupils leave Lingwood Primary not only prepared for the next stage of their school career but prepared for life.



We are committed to providing a curriculum which is broad, balanced, sequential, and progressive. 

Our education

Parents

At Lingwood Primary Academy, we believe that in order to provide a successful education for every individual child we must work in partnership with parents.


We have high expectations of ourselves, our children and our parents and carers. Together, we develop all areas of academy life, with clear expectations from all sides.

Dear parents and carers, We made it! It has been a good year at Lingwood, and I would like to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to everyone who has supported the school. The sun shone at our summer fete last Friday. Events like this are only such a success when you have a group of parents who spend hours of their own time before, during and after the event. Thank you so so much to the members of FOLPA for your amazing efforts all year round. We raised a whopping £1317. We want all of our children to have a lovely holiday and are not setting homework. We do however expect children to read over the holidays. Miss Long recently sent a letter out about a reading challenge, and I have sent a letter out this week about the importance of reading over the six-week break. It would also be a good idea for your child to go on Timestable Rockstars to keep their maths ticking over nicely. We have had a few children turning up to school in incorrect uniform including wearing coloured trainers. Please can you make sure your child has the correct uniform for September. Staff will return to school on Monday 1st September for two PD days and children will return on Wednesday 3rd September. Please see below dates for the rest of the academic year. We are still in the process of moving over to a new communication system called Arbor. You will receive an update before the sort of term. Good luck to our year sixes and to anyone else who is leaving. Have a wonderful summer with your children and see you in September. Have a lovely summer. Stay safe. Mr Jeffery and the Lingwood Team

Dear parents and carers, One week to go! This week we got our SATs results. I am delighted to announce that 81% of our children reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. This is significantly above the national average of 62% and a big increase in what we achieved last year. Those children who did not quite get there have done brilliantly making incredible progress – we are so proud of you all. We celebrated in style at Great Yarmouth on Wednesday. We also have had our phonics results. In year 1, 85% of the year passed their screening. Again, this is above the national average. Those children who didn't quite get there will receive additional support next year. School is far more than results, and it was lovely to see our year 6 athletics team competing at the track in Bury on Monday. They did brilliantly and finished a very creditable 8th out of all of the Unity schools. Continuing with the sporting theme, it is always good to hear about sporting achievements out of school. Esme (year 6) has been representing Norfolk at basketball. Last weekend she took part in a tournament in Essex and did tremendously well coming second. Well done, Esme. Now we have confirmed our staffing for September, I can announce that Mrs Luck will be teaching Fox class on a Monday and Fawn class on a Tuesday. Mr Dibden and Mrs Smith will teach the rest of the week. In Nursery, Mr Scott will be the lead teacher on Monday and Tuesday with Mrs Mann leading on Wednesday to Friday. Mrs Gegory will be there all week. In Reception, Mrs Brighton will be the lead teacher Monday to Wednesday and Mr Scott on Thursday and Friday. I hope to see you all after school for our summer fete. Thank you to FOLPA for running this event. Have a lovely weekend  Mr Jeffery

Dear parents and carers, What an absolute scorcher! The children have coped well in the heat and did really well in their new classes. I am so glad we have had two full days in their new classes - it was time well spent and there was a lovely buzz in each classroom. It is understandable that some children are anxious about being in a new class, especially one with younger and older children. I also understand that this can be a worrying time for parents. As I explained at the meeting last week, we are spending all our meeting time planning to make sure this is a success. Your feedback is valuable to us. A lot of the discussions I have had with parents have been about lunchtimes and children who are not in the same class as some of their friends. We have decided that children will be eat in the hall with their year group rather than their class and when they have their time in the MUGA this will also be in year groups. In September there will be a chance to meet your child’s new teacher and then we will have a proper parents evening before October half-term. A reminder that it is our summer fete next Friday. I have committed to spending some time in the stocks! I am delighted to announce that from September Mrs Smith will be our new SENCO at Lingwood. For the remainder of this term please continue to contact me with any questions regarding SEND. Have a lovely weekend.  Mr Jeffery
