Tysoe School

All the children had a busy end of term with successful Christmas productions, a carol service with thoughtful contributions from all the classes, a shared Christmas dinner and class parties.

During the first week of term, the whole school has collaborated on a ‘Keeping Healthy Week’, perfect for those New Year’s resolutions. Each class has taken a different theme including exercise and healthy diet, and produced striking display boards around the school. The children are also enthused by a wide variety of after school clubs on offer, including cookery, book, science, art and orchestra clubs, thanks to the dedication of the teaching staff. The children are fortunate to benefit from a lottery award which will fund many additional sports activities delivered by two professional coaches.

Future school projects include partnership with St Mary’s Church for a Christingle service on 7^th February and a Book Week in March to link with World Book Day on 3^rd March. Teaching the creative curriculum, where subjects taught are linked in themes, offers children the opportunity to develop independence and further their curiosity in learning. In the words of one Year 4 boy, ‘one thing I love about my learning is having a talk partner to magpie ideas with.’

There is always the opportunity for any prospective parent to visit and see the school in action, just contact Mrs Horrocks, the Business Manager on 01295-680244 to make an appointment.
