Wingate Junior Department
The Juniors celebrated Halloween in colourful style,
with a truly imaginative and decorative display of costumes and
make-up !
Children, and their parents, had obviously made a huge effort to
excel previous years expectations and results !! Most children in
the Juniors successfully participated and when it came to judging the
best outfits it proved very difficult to choose the winning
recipients, who were to receive various 'spooky' and 'scary' book
prizes !!Congratulations to all those who took part and the Juniors managed to
raise a substantial amount of charitable money, which will be donated
to K9
at a later date. It’s SATs time again Pupils in Years 2 and 6 have
achieved excellent results in their Wingate SATs. Once again the
figures
For pupils about to make the move to secondary education the results are very good news. A sound achievement at the end of primary is a good basis for success at secondary level. Mrs Carol Hill (Head of Wingate Juniors) pointed out that success came for a multitude of reasons. Top of the list was excellent teaching across all four of the Junior years. She commented that “The lessons are well planned and parents are involved wherever appropriate and helpful. We have good resources and the children work hard to do their best”. Miss Lynne Pearson (Head of Nursery and Infants) was equally complementary about her staff and the efforts of the Year 2 pupils. She pointed out that at Wingate the whole life of the school helped pupils to do their best. The many concerts and shows that the infant children took part in contributed positively to the results achieved. The UK Government has set a target of 85% of pupils to achieve Level 4 in English and Maths at the end of Year 6 (Key Stage 2). As you can see below, these targets have been more than met at Wingate 2008 Wingate Key Stage 2 SATS results English L4 97% (81% in England) L5 45% (29% in England) Maths L4 90% (78% in England) L5 38% (31% in England) Science L4 97% (88% in England) L5 65% (44% in England) Head of Department: Mrs Carol Hill.
For many years Mrs Hill has been in
charge of the Juniors and has, during her time at
Wingate, seen the Department expand enormously and thrive
both academically and socially. The Department consists of a one-form entry for Years 3-5 and a two-form entry for Year 6. At present there are about 100 children in the Juniors. Each class has a mixture of nationalities and abilities within it - the maximum number of pupils per class is 24. The Department also has the use of three classroom assistants. Key Stage 2 SATs exams are taken at the end of Year 6. Dramatic/musical productions are performed for Christmas each year, and usually take the form of a typically English pantomime.
