Landywood Primary School

I just wanted to send an e-mail to say a great big thank you to you/your staff for bringing along such an exceptional group of young people to take part in the Schools Activity Zone at The Birmingham Classic. We hope that your students had a fantastic experience and that the day has inspired them to think about/engage in tennis more than before. Please feel free to share your brilliant images online using the #tennisforkids Kind regards Natalie Manca-Wilcox Participation Development Partner

Mr Clewer I felt compelled to write to you and complement you and your staff on giving our daughter Amelie Bartlett a wonderful journey through Landywood, she has been nothing but happy there and it will be with a heavy heart when she leaves on Friday. You have given her a wonderful start in life and we will always be gratefully. This is reflected in her brilliant SATs results 120 in her reading test , wow! I have already thanked Dawn Burrows for her hard work. I also think it is lovely all the end of year celebrations you have organised for our children. The school is a credit to you all. Regards Michelle & David Bartlett

Dear Mr Clewer I am writing to say how impressed I was with the concert given by the children of Landywood Primary School on Friday 12th July at Great Wyrley High School. It is a wonderful idea and experience for the children to perform in a proper performing space, with tiered seating and the stage lights and all the technical things that are not possible in a primary school hall. What an amazing sight to see so many young musicians from one school performing together on a whole range of instruments. It was incredible to see so much talent and commitment from everyone children, staff and visiting teachers. Your vision to offer the children a range of instruments to choose from and then learn for the year paid for by the school is such a fantastic educational opportunity and the quality of learning and performing was outstanding. Whether steel pans, glockenspiels, ukulele and ‘doods’ or the follow-on lessons strings, every child was involved and displayed great listening skills, confidence and concentration. The addition of recorder group and choir run by school staff was super and made the whole thing complete, with every child in KS2 involved. Thank you so much for inviting me to the concert. I enjoyed it tremendously and was delighted to hear the children perform. Please pass on my congratulations to the children and your staff and I wish you all every success with your music making in the future. With best wishes Jennifer P Mason (Mrs) Music Hub Manager-

• First of all I’d like to say it’s been an absolute pleasure being Landywood’s groupie. • Every single child has been polite, good manners, helpful, obedient, enthusiastic, engaging and just a joy to be around. • The positive attitude of the children is obviously a reflection of the strong positive ethos that the school has. The rating and star system I was introduced to is the perfect example of action and reward. • It was so lovely to see the passion in the teachers as well. At Bawdsey Manor we see over 200 schools each year and so for us groupies the teachers can make or break our experience. • They gave me all the support I needed and more, tremendous organisation from start to finish. • Overall, in the 6 years I have worked at PGL Landywood Primary has been one of the top groups I’ve had the pleasure of working with, all the instructors have sung their praises and it would be a joy to see them return. Will Year 4 Residential PGL Leader

Thank you for hosting our Early Childhood Studies student(s) as part of their work placement modules. I appreciate that you will have been very busy in carrying out your professional duties, so to offer your time and effort to support one of our students is very kind. The Faculty appreciates your contribution to our student's personal and professional development. Schools and early years settings have a crucial role to play in designing training that provides the range of experiences that trainees need and ensuring consistency of standards across as well as within the Early Years Educator standards. I trust that our students have been of assistance to you in your day-to-day work and therefore the placement has been mutually beneficial. Thanks to the guidance supplied by you and your colleagues, our students have gained positive work experience. Helen Perkins Senior Lecturer, Childhood and Family Studies University of Wolverhampton

Just a quick note to say I thoroughly enjoyed coaching the girls at the school yesterday and today. The girls were exceptionally well behaved and showed no little skill either. Keith Hardy Chairman of Great Wyrley FC

Just to say thank you to Mrs Burrows and Mrs Thacker for the useful Year 6 SATs meeting tonight, really helpful. It's very evident that you care a great deal that our children do well and are supported through the process.

Thanks so much for having me along to school today. It was so lovely meeting some of your wonderful pupils and reliving some history. I’m really looking forward to seeing and reading over the entries from your pupils. Adam Tindill Centre Director Explore Learning Walsall

Just to say quick thanks reference the “Bikeability” classes that my daughter attended before half-term. It was nice to see the progress that she made after these classes and to see how more confident she was cycling on a road with me. Many Thanks Mr Price
