November 2016

Please note that since the start of this half term our Breakfast Club has been operating a pre-booked system where children can only attend the club if they have already booked a place. We have sent reminders and booking form letters home this week to parents of children who have attended the club but have not reserved a place.

Well it’s been a very eventful week at Lea Forest. On Tuesday and Wednesday we had some Ofsted visitors to our school and we will let you know the outcome as soon as we can. However, we want to say a HUGE thank you to all the parents who spoke to the Ofsted team sharing the school’s journey over the last few years. Your support over the two days was fantastic. All of you should be very proud of your children. Their behaviour was exceptional and they spoke to the Ofsted team with great confidence and maturity. We are immensely proud of them.

We will always do our very best to keep the academy open. But in the unlikely event that we have to close the academy due to heating failure or bad weather we will inform parents via text message, the school website, twitter and Facebook page as well as local radio (BBC WM).

Please make sure that the office has an up to date mobile phone number so that you can be contacted in an emergency

Help protect our community library. The Glebe Farm library is one of several local libraries that is under threat of closure from Birmingham City Council. Please help us support them by contacting your local councillors and MP's and asking them to put a stop to the closure of local libraries that play a vital role in developing young readers.

We’ve had a great start to the season so far with a dramatic 2:2 friendly against the Rosary. In the league we had a fantastic 4:4 draw against St Bernadette’s and a late goal in our second match saw St Peter & St Paul’s take a well deserved win with a final score of 2:1.

Mr Q and Mr Haw were very pleased with the team work and great defending from our boys that saw us take a fantastic 4:0 victory against Oasis Blakenhale on Tuesday night! Great team spirit from all our boys.

Thank you to all of our staff for their time.
