Ofsted Inspection

As you are all aware, on Tuesday, 6th November, we were visited by a Lead Inspector from Ofsted. Fulham Primary was last visited by Ofsted in

September 2012. The Lead Inspector spent the day with the Senior Leaders discussing the progress the school has made since the last inspection and

viewing all the evidence the school has. He spent time in classes looking at teaching and learning and met with pupils, staff and parents to gather their

views. We will be receiving the outcome letter within the next few weeks and when this is published, we will be able to share this with you all. The letter will highlight the strengths of the school and will also identify the areas that

the school are continuing to work on and develop. Thank you very much to those parents who took the time to go online and fill

out the parent survey and to those who met with the Inspector.

Maths Day Tuesday 6th November

Fulham Primary celebrated Rockstar Maths Day on

Tuesday and everybody had lots of fun. All the children looked fantastic in their Rockstar costumes; it was great to see all the effort that everybody put in. Year 2 to Year 6 had a big focus on times tables

and everybody is loving our new 'Times Tables Rockstars' programme (keep your eyes peeled in a newsletter for the parent workshop on this). They also had some really interesting debates in class

and made maths posters to go around the school. Early Years and Year 1 focused their work on 'The

Very Hungry Caterpillar' and completed lots of fun counting activities with real fruit. They also

completed some fantastic maths-themed art work. Thanks to everybody for pulling together to create

such a fantastic day.

On Wednesday Year 4 Panthers visited the Science Museum. They thoroughly enjoyed the

'Making of the Modern World' section of the Museum studying some of the amazing electrical

inventions from the last century. They also visited the Wonderlab which stimulated their scientific

curiosity.

Citizenship Year 5 pupils enjoyed their weekly visit to the Farm Lane Care Home. Here are a few of the pupils with some of the residents

enjoying a spot of arts and crafts!

Safeguarding information for Parents /Carers 2018 - 2019 What is Safeguarding?

Safeguarding is the action that is taken to promote the welfare of children and protect them from harm.

Safeguarding means: protecting children from abuse and maltreatment preventing harm to children’s health or development ensuring children grow up with the provision of safe and effective care taking action to enable all children and young people have the best outcomes. Child protection is part of the Safeguarding process. It focuses on protecting individual children identified as suffering or likely to suffer significant harm. This includes child protection procedures which detail how to respond to

concerns about a child. Safeguarding and child protection applies to all children up to the age of 18.

At Fulham Primary your child’s safety is of paramount importance and we ensure that we spend a great deal of time training staff so that we always

comply with current legislation (Keeping Children Safe in Education).
