Parent & Pupil Questionnaire Results

During our spring term parent consultation evenings each parent was invited to complete a parent questionnaire to let us know what they liked about our school and what could be even better. The response rate was very high with 95 questionnaires completed. Teachers then consulted with our children to complete a pupils' questionnaire. The results from both groups were extremely positive.Please click on the links below to view the results.

STEAD LANE CELEBRATES 'ECO WEEK'

Our children enjoyed learning about the environment in school during 'Eco Week'. Visits included Plessey Woods and Rising Sun Country Park. Children also enjoyed a range of activities within school from decorating cotton bags to making music using junk instruments. Congratulations to those children who were winners of our junk modelling competition and received prizes in our celebration assembly. Everyone made a great effort dressing in green on the Friday and we raised a lot of money to sponsor a tiger in Bengal from our cake sale.

New Reward System

As a staff, we are very keen to reward good work and celebrate excellent behaviour. Following the Easter holidays, we will be introducing a new 'house point' system at Stead Lane. The children will be divided into four 'houses' or teams. Each week merits will be earned for good behaviour, effort, work etc. Individually children will work towards earning Bronze, Silver and Gold certificates. Collectively each team will be competing to win a house treat which the children will choose.

TEAM NAME COMPETITION
We have chosen a 'Space' theme for our teams. Each team will be represented by a different coloured rocket. And now for your cooperation - can you or your child think of four imaginative names for our teams. If so, please complete the slip attached and return to school. A prize will be awarded for the winning suggestion

School Council 2007/08

At Stead Lane First School we have a very active school council. Each class has two representatives who have been nominated and elected by their class mates. They meet once a fortnight to discuss issues raised by the children. To help gather ideas, each class has its own suggestion box where children are encouraged to contribute. The council has a secretary and chair person, an agenda is set for each meeting and minutes are recorded. These are displayed in school.
