I am delighted to be able to announce that, following a rigorous selection process, we have decided on next year’s head and deputy head boys and girls. It is always such an uplifting experience to meet the pupils when they learn of their success. The young men and women chosen this year represent the very best of our pupils, having already made a conspicuous contribution to the life of the school. I am sure they can rely on the support and cooperation of the whole school community in fulfilling the duties associated with their new roles. Congratulations to the following: Head boy Kieran Griffith Head girl Naomi Wylie Deputy head boy Raviendran Pradeepan Deputy head girl Shanice Harrison |

 During the past two weeks we have been hosts to two Malaysian Headteachers. Our guests were participating in the Vision 2020 programme aimed at making Malaysia a world power by 2020. The Malaysian Ministry of Education works with Kings College London to train the country’s top Headteachers as they see schools in England as having some of the best leadership in the world.
Kings College chose Archbishop Lanfranc for the second year running to be one of a select group of schools to be involved in the scheme. We have two more visitors over the next two weeks. You can find out more about the project by following the link: www.tes.co.uk/article.aspx?storycode=6014861 |

 We are excited to be taking part in LloydsTSB National School Sport Week, supported by the Youth Sport Trust, which will take place from 29 June to 3 July.
The week aims to encourage our pupils to be more active and do more sport using the London Olympics as our inspiration. Leaflets will be distributed describing how pupils can commit to achieving their sporting goals and record their progress. Parents are encouraged to take a few moments to look at the leaflet and see how they can support their children with their Sports Pledge. |

I thought you would expect a few words about the Ofsted inspection which took place on Wednesday and Thursday. Although we have received verbal feedback this remains confidential until the report is published. What I can tell you, however, is how impressed the inspection team was with our pupils and staff. Pupils were seen to be confident but polite and well mannered and teachers and other staff hard working and committed to the success of all the pupils. I should like to thank those parents who managed to complete and return the questionnaires within the very short timescale that the new inspection regime allowed. Although I am not privy to the contents of the individual responses I was told how very positive the overall picture was. |

Attached to this item you will find a copy of our Ofsted inspection report. For those of you who know the school well you will immediately recognise that some of our many strengths are highlighted in the report. You will also appreciate that suggesting to us that we do more to improve pupil progress and attainment is hardly necessary as we have always been firmly committed to ensuring that all our pupils do their best in this respect. Happy reading!

My first blog in December made reference to some music from the 1970s. I hope you will be pleased to see that I have moved on to the year 2000 for the title of this piece! Some aspects of school life can consume disproportionate amounts of teachers’ time. I hope that pupils and parents alike will work with us to prevent this happening. I suppose we have to accept that portable technology is here to stay. Even I have an iPod and a mobile phone. There are however times when the use of such devices is inappropriate and the school day is one of them. It is a well established rule that phones/music players/etc are not to be used by pupils during the day and that if seen or heard they will be confiscated. |
