We are looking forward to seeing you all during our Parent’s evenings next week. Just to make things complicated, some teachers will be hosting their meetings Monday and Tuesday, and others Tuesday and Wednesday, so please don’t get  confused if your date differs to a friend.

We have a busy few weeks ahead with Mother’s Day celebrations, school trips and Easter celebrations. Please see overleaf the Easter competition information. We will also be joining Hob Moor Primary Academy in a ‘Hop for the Hospice’ in support of St Leonard’s Hospice. All the children will receive bunny ears to participate in a sponsored hop. This will include trampette’s, rebound or outdoor activities in order to make it accessible to all pupils – more info to follow.

On Friday 24th March we also have a visiting Opera in school for the  afternoon for a production of ‘The Zoo’.

Hob Moor Community Primary Academy Ofsted Report October 2022

The findings are: Hob Moor Community Primary Academy continues to be a good school.

I hope you enjoy reading the report.

Our final two weeks of the Autumn Term have certainly been busy and I hope all the children have enjoyed Christmas at school.  It is a very special time and it has been a pleasure to watch all our children, from Nursery up to Year 6 perform for their family and friends.  They have amazed me with their enthusiasm and confidence and I truly believe we have unleashed some hidden talent for singing, dancing and acting!

Can I say a huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our celebrations and to those of you who sent in donations for the Food Bank and our Christmas parties. Your generosity was incredible thank you and I wish you all a very Happy Christmas. Enjoy some family fun and best wishes for 2022.

We look forward to seeing everyone back in school on Tuesday 4th January.

Dear families and friends of Hob Moor Oaks,
At the weekend, we received some very sad news that Emily S had died. A wonderful girl who always had a smile on her face and a beautiful singing voice. She moved onto Applefields with her friends in July 2020. Our thoughts are with her family, friends, Applefields colleagues, NHS & Martin House Hospice staff. We are supporting her sister Sophie in school and we will carefully plan ways to remember her sister over the coming weeks.
Thank you to everyone for their efforts this half term, our first educational visits since the pandemic started, have been very successful. The children have represented the school amazingly well in the community. A big ‘shout out’ to Ian for driving all the children safely and keeping good care of our minibuses whilst they’ve not been in use  during the pandemic.
Two very special people are leaving our staff team this week. Suzi has worked here for 7 years and we will miss her creativity and love for the outdoors. Suzi has supported the development of our forest school offer in our Copse area. We promise to keep your legacy going. Enjoy your family time.
Ruth has supported many classes as a HLTA, covering teacher’s PPA. Ruth has developed our shared provision across school including our Reading Garden, Play Zone and Wheelchair dancing sessions. Thank you Ruth for your commitment and dedication to Hob Moor Oaks over the years. We will miss you! Enjoy your retirement!
It has been a very busy Autumn term, a big thank you our admin and wellbeing staff who keep us all in check! We have completed a whopping 46 EHCPS, 13 settling in reviews, supported many Child in Need meetings and much more! On behalf of our children & families, THANK YOU!  Enjoy our special Christmas video on Twitter! Take care and stay safe, Merry Christmas
