Children in Key Stage 2 are expected to
make 2 levels of progress, and we have
been particularly pleased with our
rates of progress for pupils over the
last few years. Many of our pupils,
across the ability range make much
more progress than this. Again, all
figures are percentages.

Newsletter
Final Newsletter
This is my final newsletter at Girton
Glebe – the 200th
edition!
Ten years ago, in Issue 1, we
welcomed teachers Sarah Heslop and
Rebecca Fuller, reminded families of
the September curriculum evenings
and noted that school meals had risen
to £1.55. It is hard to believe that this
was before the majority of our pupils
today were even born.
In the ten-year journey that has
followed, we have all worked hard to
create the very best experiences for
children, whatever else has been going
on in the world of education. This has
been an enormous privilege and I
have enjoyed working with great
staff, supportive families and the
most fantastic children.
Every single day our staff room bears
witness to stories of those little steps
(and sometimes great leaps) of
progress that children make
throughout their time at Primary
School and this is what makes
teaching such a rewarding career.
I have no doubt that the school will
continue to improve, continue to
grow and continue to go from
strength to strength in the many
years to come. Good luck everyone!
