2017-2018 Curriculum Changes

In the Autumn and Spring Terms Class 2 pupils from both schools will be having an afternoon of sporting activity each week at Malton Sports Centre, led by Malton Sports Centre staff each Monday afternoon. Class 1 PE will continue to be supported by Mr Mulholland in both schools.  We will continue to enter the Ryedale Federation Sports fixtures with the expectation that each Y1-Y6 pupil will take part in a tournament each term.

Mr Swann is retiring from teaching at the end of term.  We are extremely grateful for all the musical expertise he has brought us and wish him well for the future.  From September, Class 2 pupils from both schools will be having music teaching led by a member of the North Yorkshire County Music team each Friday afternoon where they will have opportunity to learn an instrument.  Class 1 pupils’ music will be taught by our existing staff who will continue to follow the North Yorkshire Music Scheme of Work.

Mrs Cordingley, a native French speaker, will continue to teach Reception to Year 6 pupils French.  This will, from September, take place each Friday in both schools.

Therefore, in the Autumn and Spring Terms, pupils from the two schools will continue to meet up for a variety of joint events rather than coming together each Friday. Plans for summer 2018, will be confirmed in due course.

Please do not hesitate to contact me regarding the above.
