The governors have worked hard throughout lockdown to support the school in any way they can. As chair, I would like to thank all governors who have given so much of their time voluntarily to help and support the school throughout the year and especially during the recent Covid situation.
As governors, we would like to take this opportunity to say a huge thank-you to all of the staff at Stanford. They have worked tirelessly behind the scenes in often challenging circumstances. They have set work, made welfare calls, made and delivered work packs-all whilst being in school every day providing childcare for vulnerable pupils and children of key workers. It has been a huge team effort!

At Stanford Junior and Infant School we believe our role is to ensure that all of our children achieve the best they possibly can in an environment that stimulates a love of learning. We support our children to succeed academically, socially, personally and physically. We are extremely proud of our broad and balanced curriculum, which the children are fully engaged in.
The school environment is wonderful and we all ensure our school is a calm and safe place where children feel they are able to ask for support and advice.
Within our village school we continually work hard to keep developing a team ofteachers, non-teaching and support staff that support each child in reachingtheir potential. Visitors comment on our supportive and friendly team and thepositive atmosphere within our school.

Thousands of children across the country have missed out on receiving their in-school vaccinations because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Now, the Council’s School Nursing service are to set up drive-through vaccine centres across the borough to vaccinate those Year 8 students who have missed their jabs.
The vaccine is free to all children and offers protection against human papillomavirus (HPV).
Parents/carers can book a slot through Eventbrite.
Bishop Grosseteste University, in partnership with Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia, are carrying out some fascinating research into UK Early Years and KS1 educator's and parent's views of play. These views will be compared with parents and educators from countries such as Australia and Denmark.
The survey gives an opportunity parents of children (0-7) to share your views on play. The survey is online and takes around 7 minutes to complete. All questions are multiple choice and easy to follow. More information (e.g what happens to the data) can be found at the start of the survey.
As we approach the 'new normal', what role should play have in education? Research indicates that when parents and educators share learning goals for children, long-term outcomes are significantly better.
Parents are invited to share their views on play in this 7 minute survey:

KEVIGS haveemailed the parents of all of the children coming to them in September to direct them towards the Year 7 Induction page on the school website. On there parents and children can find the first Newsletter that’s been produced for them – which includes information for parents and activities for the children.They intend to add something to this page every Friday in the forthcoming few weeks.
Dates for Entrance Testing this year have been moved on by one week – they will now be 19th/20th (Verbal paper) and 26th/27th (Non Verbal Paper) September. It is likely that they will have to have 2 full days of testing in order to satisfy social distancing and sanitising between sessions.
The Lincolnshire Consortium of Grammar Schools has taken the decision this year not to offer familiarisation papers to primary schools. But parents have been sent a link to familiarisation/practice papers that they can do at home with their child. Again, more information about this can be found on the school website.
Over the coming weeks KEVIGS will be in touch with all parents who have registered their child for the entrance test.
Thank you to everyone who celebrated today. A wonderful community spirit- thank you!

Caring for animals during lockdownOne of our pupils has decided to take an active role in caring for exotic creatures during these troubling times. He recently saved up his pocket money to adopt a jaguar for the year but was still keen to do something else.
The family heard about the Jungle Zoo in Cleethorpes who were asking for donations of fruit and veg for the animals as a lack of visitors was affecting finances and their ability to feed them.
This caring pupil decided to approach his neighbours and ask them for help. He did a leaflet drop at 35 houses and got a great result as you can see. He really enjoyed the planning and collecting and was so pleased to be able to take lots of donations. The Jungle Zoo really appreciated his hard work……and we’re sure the animals did too!!
