So Year 6, the time has finally come,

The dreaded SATs are here,

But this is what you’ve worked for,

Since you moved up in to this year.

These tests will tell us what you’ve learned,

And what you can recall,

But there’s a million things,

The SATs won’t tell us at all.


They won’t tell us how you dance,

Or draw, or sing, or run,

Or tell us just how great you are,

At any other things you’ve done.

The SATs don’t measure super-ness,

Or how kind or brave you are,

They’re just a way of helping to see,

All you’ve learned so far.

So all we ask of each of you,

Is to try the best you can,

But no matter the score you’ll get,

We’ll always be your fan!

You’ve worked your socks off this year through,

And now the time has come

By this time next week, you can say,

Phew, the SATs are done.

So rest up, eat lots and get some sleep,

So you’re ready and raring to go,

To show those SATs test who’s the boss,

And show them what you know!


But remember that when they’re over,

It doesn’t matter how you’ve done,

Because you are wonderful, brilliant and fab,

And you’ll be amazing in your lives to come!

Believe in yourself. You are all amazing!

Good luck from everyone in the Nun Monkton Foundation Primary School Community 🩷

Just a reminder that the closing date for applications for a place in Reception for September 2024 is Monday 15th January 2024.

FAO Parents of Nursery Children
(who were born between 1 September 2019 and 31 August 2020)

If you have a child who falls into the age range above they are due to start school in September 2024 and you must apply for a primary school place for them to start in Reception.

The deadline to submit your application is 15 January 2024

You must still apply for a school place even if your child has an older sibling at the school you would like them to go to or they are attending a nursery attached to the school.

This information is for families living in North Yorkshire. Families living outside North Yorkshire will need to contact their home authority to obtain their information regarding school admissions.

The information you need to apply for a primary school place is available at
www.northyorks.gov.uk/school-admissions including:

• the criteria used by the authority to allocate school places at maintained schools
• links to the admission arrangements for schools which are their own admissions authority, such as certain academy schools and voluntary aided schools
• arrangements for the admission of pupils to primary schools, including any social or medical reasons why your child should be given special consideration for allocation to a particular school;
• specific school information including the number of places allocated and statistics for the 2021-22 academic year
• eligibility for home-to-school transport;
• The online parent portal where you will be able to create an account and apply online for a school place,

It is important that you read all of the information on the school admissions and transport pages before completing the online Common Application Form (CAF).

Online applications - you will need to:
• Create an account if you do not already have one (you will receive a verification registration email);
• If you already have an account you can reset your own password, we cannot do this for you;
• Log back into your account to add your child’s details and dob
• Select the round you are applying for ie 2024 - Starting Reception*. You can then add your school preferences and other details;
• Remember to submit your application. When you have submitted your application you will receive an email confirming that the Authority has received your CAF, keep this as proof you have made an application. Please contact us if you do not receive an acknowledgement.

*The school round that is available is specific to your child’s date of birth (dob), if it is not showing after you have added your child’s details please check that you have input their dob correctly. If your child is out of their chronological year group you will need to email us for a paper version of the form.

Paper applications - if you do not have internet access, you can request a copy of the information for parents and a paper copy of the common application form, contact details overleaf.

Remember you must submit an application form no later than 15 January 2024.

Late applications - any application received after this date will be considered late and will be dealt with after those received on time. This could affect the allocation of your child’s school place, for more details see www.northyorks.gov.uk/lateapplications. Please ensure that you provide reasons in writing why the application is late. Email: [email protected]

More information about individual schools and a school prospectus can be obtained direct from the school concerned. Please check the information on the website carefully as some schools require the completion of a Supplementary Information Form (SIF) to enable them to assess your application against the school’s admission policy. Failure to submit a SIF will result in your application being considered after all other applications where a SIF has been submitted.

If you want a place at a school outside of North Yorkshire, you must list it on our common application form and we will liaise with that Authority.

National Offer Day - 16 April 2024 is the day when you will receive confirmation of the school place that has been “offered” to your child. If you have applied online, you will be able to log back into your account and view the school place that has been ‘offered’. You will also receive a confirmation email during office hours on 16 April 2024.

If you have completed a paper application, allocation letters will be sent out by second class post on the 16 April 2024 and could take up to 3-5 days to arrive. We are not able to advise anyone of a child’s school place over the telephone.

If we are unable to allocate a place at your preferred school, you will be entitled to an appeal in line with current legislation. Appeal forms are available on the website at www.northyorks.gov.uk/admission_appeals or by contacting the Admissions Team on 01609 533679.

You should keep all correspondence you receive, including emails and acknowledgements, as you might need this should you want to appeal if we cannot give your child a place at the school you prefer.

Please contact us if you require any further advice or assistance.

Yours sincerely

Clare Anderson

World Book Day! What a fantastic day it has been. Well done to all of our children (and staff) for, as ever, making such an amazing effort with your costumes! It’s been wonderful seeing all the children working together and we are all so proud of how well the older children supported the younger ones with the trickier tasks! 🌎 📚 ❤️

Fossil Making in Fireflies!
What a fantastic afternoon making fossils using clay and plaster of paris! Look at the fantastic shapes we printed!

Today in art, children in the Dragonflies have been learning about geometric tessellating patterns that are found in Islamic artwork. The children were very precise in their drawing producing some beautiful patterns!

Food Glorious Food topic!

The children had a fantastic time preparing, making and then eating their pizzas and creating fabulous painted toast! 🌈 So impressed with how they all followed instructions and ensured they copied their design! We certainly have some chefs in the making! 👩‍🍳🍞🍕👨‍🍳

Today was an ‘eggcellent’ day! 🐰🥚🌈

A school of smiles and laughter once again ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

CONGRATULATIONS! We have made it to the end of remote learning! We are so proud of each and every child at our school, but also to our fantastic parents. Without their support, the past two months would have been even more difficult.

All of the staff are incredibly excited to open school on Monday to all pupils.

We know it is a daunting transition for everyone, so we are having a Rainbow Day. We will be focusing on friendship, relationship building and fun!

We cannot wait to see everyone on Monday and as always, I’m proud to be part of the Nun Monkton Community!
