20 June 2014 School Newsletter
Good morning, You won’t be surprised to hear it has been a busy week, as always, at Pyrford! On Monday
we were joined by contractors who will bid for the new school rebuild. They visited the site
and heard from the chair of governors and the Education Funding Agency. It was a good
opportunity for contractors to see what was really important to us as a school. The next
stage is that contractors will submit bids and plans and the EFA will narrow that down to
two contractors before finally deciding which one to work with. We are looking forward to
finally seeing some concrete drawings! The only downside for me was the
mention of their willingness to have weekly meetings starting on the 7th July for
the entirety of the summer! Yesterday Year 2 enjoyed a great day out at the Brighton Sealife Centre and
you can read more and see some of their photos further on in the newsletter. Next week Year 6 are heading off on residential. My thanks in advance to the
staff accompanying the children for the week; they do this at Pyrford off their
own back (some arm twisting sometimes!) and the children have a fantastic
time away on residential. We shall look forward to hearing all about their ad-
ventures on their return. Tomorrow it is the summer fayre so a quick reminder that FS and KS1 children
will be performing in the arena and need to arrive by 12 mid-day dressed in
bright coloured clothes. I have seen the children practising and know how excited they are. Well done this week to our Year 1 pupils who have all undertaken the national phonics
screening test. Children have done fantastically well and the school is really starting to see
the fruition of our phonics work which we introduced al-
most two years ago. I will report back on assessment
scores once all the data has been validated by the DfE. The Chernobyl children will be arriving on Sunday evening
and we look forward to welcoming them into school over
the coming weeks.
Next week is our Book Fayre - please pop in after school to
have a look at the books. Any money raised is ploughed
straight back into books for the children in the school.
With best wishes Kathryn Krynicki
Headteacher

Brighton Beauties! Yesterday, in lovely weather and to support our Seaside Holiday Topic, Year 2 enjoyed a
fabulous day promenading along the pier at Brighton and watching the sea creatures at
the Sea Life Centre. Lunch on the beach was a definite highlight, although the pesky
seagulls were on the look out for lunch! Well done Year 2 for being such well-behaved
seaside visitors and a big thank you to all the adults who helped make the visit possible.

Week beginning 16 June
Freddie’s day at the AEGON Classic Freddie Plummer, in Year 4, Birch Class, has been moving up the ranks in tennis over recent years, but last week was particularly special for him. Freddie was involved in the AEGON Classic tournament in London, play-ing for the South East team of Under 9s and Under 10s. They played against the Midlands team and after some great matches the South East won! The kids had a great day, as after their matches they were able to watch the pros on cen-tre court, as well as at the warm up courts. They met lots of the players and enjoyed au-tograph hunting and being pho-tographed with them too. Well done Freddie - we will look out for you at Wimbledon one day!
Ice cream will be sold every
Friday until 18th July. They are
available from the Infant kitch-
en window hatch into the play-
ground (outside Year 2 class-
rooms)
Please find your copy of the pro-
gramme for the Summer Fayre
2014 attached with this newsletter.
We have great stalls and attrac-
