We continue to be an Inclusion Quality Mark Centre of Excellence !???
“A parent said, ‘they don’t know how good they are because it’s so natural.’”
“There is a lively atmosphere in the school canteen where excellent food is prepared by friendly staff. ”
“Children attending OLI certainly get a good deal.”
“The IQM targets set and achieved at OLI serve to complement and enhance the inclusive ethos of the school.”
“They work well together and ‘enjoy a laugh.’ This is something that I personally value greatly. A happy staff means happy pupils.”
“I was particularly struck by how older children engage with each other in lessons. As 1 pupil speaks, the class would turn to show interest and display active listening.”
“It was an absolute pleasure to spend a day with staff and children, and I feel inspired and enthused to trial ideas in my own school.”
“Comments from stakeholders’ centre around the school being ‘warm,’ ‘amazing,’ and ‘like home.’ I would fully agree with these quotes. All staff, including cooks, the site manager, learning support, and Governors, clearly articulate the same ethos and enjoy being there. External support staff expressed how this is ‘comfortably the best school they work in.”
“Our Lady Immaculate Catholic Primary School is an exceptionally inclusive school.”
“It was lovely to see the early years children practising self-regulation through peer massage as part of the MISP programme. (Massage in Schools Programme). Clearly, this is embedded as a regular feature, and very young children were showing care and empathy towards their peers.”
“Observation of ZOR in Early Years area showed staff well-deployed to support children unable to fully mix with mainstream, but still receiving entitlement.”
“There is a lot of evidence that staff at OLI are very well trained,”
“Diversity in the curriculum is apparent”
Thank you everyone!

Year 4’s exciting morning
This morning, our Year 4 pupils learned all about the digestive system. We explored each stage of digestion, starting with chewing a banana in our “fake stomachs”! We then used vinegar and bicarbonate of soda to create an acid-like reaction, just like in the stomach. Next, we used tights to represent the intestines, allowing the nutrients to spread into our bloodstream and leaving us with just the ‘poo’ at the end. As you can see, we had lots of fun and got very messy along the way!

Looking at fairy tales
Today in Year 4, we explored fairy tales. We paused the story just before the happy ending and talked about how the characters (and we) were feeling at that moment. Afterwards, we continued reading to discover the happy ending and discussed how our feelings changed once everything turned out well.
