Today we held our Kindness Values Awards led by our Headteacher, Mr Horsley. The hall was prepared with our famous red carpet and lights and was joined by lots of festive decorations courtesy of Mr Cadge!

It was lovely to see how supportive the children were of our award winners and the teachers shared lots of reasons why the chosen children had been selected for the KINDNESS value award.

Mrs Cox and Mrs Matsangou helped to remind us of next term's focus value - Cooperation.

We also said thank you and goodbye to Su from the Kingswood Catering team, who has worked in our kitchen for a number of years.

Furthermore, we said goodbye to Miss Maddock, who having worked as both teacher and SENDCO at our school for nearly 20 years, is moving on to work with encouraging children in their love of music with NMPAT. She has had such a huge impact on thousands of children at Woodland View through the years. We will miss her terribly, but wish her all the best in her new role! Kindly, she even left the children of the school the present of a sensory, weighted toy for cuddling whenever they need time to calm down. Miss Ryan helped to unwrap it... 

Well done to all of our KINDNESS value award winners this term.

A team of Year 6 boys represented the school at the district football competition today. This is a very popular event and 18 different schools competed throughout the day to achieve a place at the county finals in January next year.

The day started brilliantly with the squad leading their own warm-ups and drills in preparation for their games. This attitude and teamwork really impressed Mr Willars and Mr Havard early. On such a cold day, it was wonderful to see the boys working hard and collaborating to ensure that they were ready for a long day of football!

The team were placed in Group A, meaning they would have 4 group stage matches before being reseeded for a final round in the afternoon. The team started brilliantly with a hard-fought 1-0! They followed this up with a 0-0 draw before winning 5-0 and 5-0 again to end the group with three wins, one draw, eleven goals scored and 0 conceded! This was good enough to finish top of the group and advance to the 1st to 4th seed elite group in the afternoon.

In the afternoon, the team continued their dominant performances with a 2-1 and 2-0 win respectively in their first two matches. In their final group game, the team suffered their first defeat (1-0) to the eventual champions on the day. This meant that the team finished 2nd overall on the day; this is good enough to advance to the county competition in January!

The team showed amazing respect, sportsmanship and courage in all of their matches and throughout the day. It really was a privilege for Mr Willars and Mr Havard to take this squad to the competition today and they can't wait to take the boys to the next round. What a brilliant day!
