Year 1 went for a walk around our school grounds this afternoon as part of their science learning. We have been learning all about our senses and have already explored our sense of smell through a sniff pot experiment and our sense of taste by tasting and describing different flavoured crisps. Today, it was all about sight! After discussing how important our sense of sight is, we headed outside to explore the school grounds and look for signs of autumn. The children carefully observed their surroundings and ticked off everything they spotted on their autumn record sheets. Back on the playground, the children were then given the opportunity to experience what it might be like without our sense of sight. Those who wanted to took part in a blindfold activity and quickly realised just how important our other senses become. They had to listen very carefully and use their sense of touch by putting their arms out to feel for anything that might be in their way. A fantastic lesson of exploring, investigating and learning through first-hand experiences!

"Pupils feel welcome in this friendly and nurturing school." We are so excited to finally be able to share our fantastic Ofsted result! Miers Court received a majority 'Strong Standard' rating under the new Ofsted framework, with the school receiving five 'Strong Standard' and two 'Expected Standard' judgements! Inspectors judged Attendance and Behaviour, Inclusion, Leadership and Governance and Personal Development & Wellbeing to be of 'Strong Standard', meaning that we are performing above the expected standard in all of these areas! Our Early Years provision was also rated 'Strong Standard', a grading achieved by only 25% of schools inspected under the new framework so far! Our curriculum was described as "thought provoking", with Ofsted commenting on the many "interesting activities that staff design" for pupils, which ensures that they "achieve well". This report reflects the hard work of our staff, and the enthusiasm, kindness and confidence of our children, and we would like to commend everyone for their hard work in achieving this result!
