YORK RESIDENTIAL VISIT
Our 29 Year 6 pupils accompanied by Mr. Clements, Mrs. Kellett, Mrs. Wilson and Mr. Money thoroughly enjoyed their residential trip to York 8th - 12th February. Despite the snow they were able to complete all the planned activities which included visits to The Deep, Hull (en route), York Minster, Jorvik Viking Centre, York Castle Museum - Victorian classroom (where they were dressed as Victorians), The Dig Archaeological Centre, Yearsley swimming pool, sketching in The Shambles, Merton Park - Home Front Day (dressed as evacuees). Children were also entertained by a Roman Visitor at Huntingdon House, followed up with a craft workshop. A very memorable week for all!
SAT RESULTS
We were delighted to learn from the published league table results in the Eastern Daily Press (2nd December 2009), Blofield School has been ranked as the second highest performing school in Norfolk for achieving 100% level four in all three subjects. These results are the best the school has ever had and reflect the wonderful work being undertaken in the school by very motivated staff.
SWIMMING
A big thank you to the PTA who have fully funded the cost of refurbishment of our swimming pool changing rooms! The work is now complete and we are delighted with the new modern facilities which will be used for general sports changing as well as swimming. The 2010 swimming season will commence on 7th June on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays.
