Another week over already – Monday to Friday seems to go so quick at the moment. It was lovely to see all the children in their new classes on Tuesday, I am sure there were some nerves, however, there were lots of smiles and relaxed children during the day. Read more

It was lovely to see all the parents and carers at FJS over the last couple of days for the sports mornings – I am so glad we did them in the morning. We are looking forward to welcoming the new Yr3 parents (mainly our current Yr2 parents) at FJS, for a meeting on Tuesday evening. This is an opportunity to visit the site, see the rooms we will be using for Yr3 and hear a little bit of information about FJS in the hall at 5pm. Read more

It is that time of year when parents and children start to think about who their teacher might be next year. However, this can distract on the remaining 6 ½ weeks of this year – a significant number of weeks in the whole school year. We will let you know the week before the transition day, which is Tuesday 8th July. I can, however, tell you that we have looked at the classes across the two schools and they seem quite well balanced and are working well for the vast majority of pupils. Therefore, we have decided not to remix any year groups moving into 2025/6. Read more

Today is the end of what feels like the shortest half term ever. Hopefully you are all aware we are closed next week, and the schools will reopen on Monday 2nd June at normal times. When we return, the Y4’s will be doing their Times-Table screening check – so a bit of ‘fun’ practice over the break would be useful. In the same way, Y1 parents, please keep up the Phonics practice too. Read more

Firstly, I would like to say how proud we are of the Super-Singers at FJS who went to perform at the VE Day event organised in the church gardens yesterday. It is important that this younger generation understands the significance of the end of WW2, even though it was 80 years ago. I grew up hearing stories about the war from my grandparents, but these first-hand recollections are quickly disappearing. Read more

Welcome back after the Easter break – I hope you had a good one and didn’t over- indulge in chocolate too much. This is a very short half term, with a long May Day weekend within it – it will feel strange. However, important things are happening. Read more

Five years ago, both of our schools were beginning ‘Lockdown 1’. It has been sobering this week to reflect on what both society and schools were expected to do in the pandemic. The children now in Y6 were then in Y1 and our children in Reception were either a few months old or possible born during the Lockdown. Read more

Spring is almost here, which means we are more than halfway through this school year. Staff are trying to fill gaps and support progress from nursery to Y6. However, they can’t do this alone - they need your ongoing support for your children’s learning. Read more

What an exciting week we have had this week. Reception had a visit from a ‘big red tractor’, Y1 went to the fire station and got o climb aboard an engine, Y2 went to Wells to visit the RNLI and today the second half of Y5 have gone to the racecourse to see how maths is all around us. I was very proud that we received an email from the RNLI saying how amazing the children were – knowledgeable, asking good questions, interested and very well behaved. Read more

Next week, on Tuesday 11th February, it is once again 'Safer Internet Awareness Day' across the UK. The theme for this year is "Too good to be true?" - which has a focus around scams and disinformation online. Read more

This week, it has been lovely to start to get around the schools and classrooms again. Unfortunately, I injured my back after a slip on some ice at the start of the month. It has made moving around difficult and painful, for the last two weeks - and I have been very reliant on the wonderful staff at both schools. Read more

Synergy Multi-Academy Trust
Synergy Multi-Academy Trust comprises fifteen Norfolk schools serving children between the ages of 2 and 18. Our schools work collaboratively together to raise standards and provide education of the highest possible standard, offering the best of opportunities for pupils. The Trust was initially established in 2015. We believe that all of our schools have strengths and areas to develop, and that all can improve through sharing expertise and wisdom. The Trust understands that there will be excellent practice in each school, and that every school will be able to contribute to the development of the Trust as a whole.
