We had our termly Attendance Award assembly on Tuesday 30th March. Many children (far too many to list here!) achieved attendance award stickers, either "100% attendance"* for the Spring term, or "Good attendance" stickers, if their attendance was over 95%. Well done to all those children, and thank you to parents who have made sure their children are in school regularly.
In Key Stage 2, the class with the best attendance was 5OF, with 3FP a close second. This reverses the situation of the Autumn term, when 3FP won and 5OF were second. Well done to those two classes, and a big "Come on!" to all the other classes- can any of you bet 5OF and 3FP?
In Key Stage 1, 2SH had the best attendance, well done to them.
Please continue to ensure your child is in school whenever they are physically fit enough to be, it is vital for their education. Thank you.
* 100% stickers given to all children who had no absences, and also children who had missed just 1 or 2 half days during the term.

Girls football success!
Hot on the heels of our netballers, the girls' football team brought home the silverware from the district 6-a-side tournament they entered on Thursday 25th March.
They won all their games, with scores such as 9-0 and 10-0, then shaded a close final 3-2 against Selwyn school, whom we had beaten in the last tournament, and lost to in the tournament before that.
So we retained the trophy, and congratulations goes to the coach Mr. Hawkins and his team. Squad to follow.

Amazing netballers!
On Wednesday 24th March, Mrs. Oshodi and Mrs. Rosen took their intrepid squad of netballers to a tournament at Bancroft's Prep School.
There were twenty-three other teams in the tournament, and the standard of netball was very high. The girls played, and won, all eight games including a 4-0 victory in the final over Woodford Green Prep School.
The team returned to school with their medals, the shield and big smiles all over their faces! Their effort, commitment and attitude was top-notch all afternoon- no surprise, as they always represent Nightingale in such a positive way.
A hearty "WELL DONE" to all involved- Mrs. Rosen, Mrs. Oshodi and the squad, named below:
Laura Carlisle, Jessica Carlisle, Jasmine Bonsu-Hefford, Madeline Oshodi, Hollie Wright, Karanjit Kudhail, Olivia Browning, Katharina Beck, Natashya Holder.

ICT themed presentation
We are currently investigating the possibilty of running the ICT event as a morning slot in school time, and will publicise the date as soon as it is confirmed.The session comprises three elements:
- e-safety
- Managed learning environments (MLE)
- Home access
It was extremely well received when run as an evening session, so we would like to encourage as many as possible to attend the re-run morning slot. Date TBA.
Update- it has unfortunately proved impossible to schedule this before the Easter break, so this event will now be re-run after Easter, on Tuesday April 27th at 9.10am in the KS2 hall.

Nightingale Primary judged "outstanding" by Ofsted
You should have now received the Ofsted report from the inspection conducted on February 4th and 5th.
We hope you are as proud of the "outstanding" judgement as we are! Under the new inspection framework commenced in September 2009, only about 6% of over 1,500 primary schools inspected have achieved this outcome.
As you will see, the only area to improve was pupil attendance, so we hope to work closely with you to ensure that this area soon becomes a strength of the school.
If you require extra, or digital copies of the report, it is available on the Ofsted website. Follow the link below:
