• Primary Parliament

  Fri 24 Jun 2016
  Maisie and Finlay, members of School Council, attended B&NES Primary Parliament 2016, held at the impressive, new Somerdale Pavilion in Keynsham. Many other schools attended and the theme was "Free 2 be me". There were debating workshops on themes around looking after oneself, being included, mindfulness and good ways to learn. Maisie and Finlay took part in the Learning Inside/Learning Outside workshop. They had to make a mosaic pattern indoors and then were invited outside to collect items to create another mosaic using natural materials. The results were stunning and the conclusion was that learning outside gave enormous pleasure, happiness, contentment, fun and raised concentration. At the end of the day the pupils gave presentations on what they had achieved during the day. Maisie and Finlay presented their findings along with their new friends and received huge congratulations.

• SIAMS Report: Good

  Mon 06 Jun 2016
  School report says ‘Good’. Every five years Church Schools such as ours undergo an inspection by the Diocese. This is known as SIAMS. Our latest SIAMS inspection has just been completed and, once again, St. Saviour’s Junior School has been judged to be a ‘Good’ Church School. The report celebrated that, ‘St Saviour’s Junior School is a warm, welcoming and friendly community.’ and highlighted how, ‘The school’s distinctive Christian values, demonstrated in the inclusive and caring relationships across the school community, enhance pupils’ personal development.’ The full report has been sent together with this newsletter.

• UK Chess Challenge

  Mon 06 Jun 2016
  Chess winners Violet, Tobias and Finn went to the UK Chess Challenge Megafinal at Millfield School, having done so well at the School tournament that we ran earlier this year. They played a total of 18 games against the best players from other Somerset schools, quite an achievement! By winning 4 of his 6 games, Finn has amazingly qualified for the "Southern Gigafinal" to be held in July. Over 43,000 children all over the UK have joined the challenge and I believe this is the very first time St Saviour’s has had club players compete at this level. Well done to all of them!
