East Hoathly Ofsted Report

East Hoathly’s Ofsted report is now on the

school’s website for you to have a look.

Well done East Hoathly!

“Pupils love coming to school. They

say that teachers make learning

enjoyable and fun. Pupils are

confident and resilient, always willing

to take on a challenge. They

understand the value of cooperation

and persistence in their learning. One

boy explained that it is important to

work harder when facing challenges,

as ‘you know others are also

struggling and you can both put your

minds to it to find a way around the

problem’. Pupils consequently have

excellent attitudes to learning.”

Leavers’ Service

On Tuesday, the Year 6s from Chiddingly and East Hoathly represented Pioneer

Federation absolutely brilliantly at a Diocesan leavers’ service in Crowborough. With the

help of Miss Benkel, Chiddingly children made themselves a beautiful school banner. All

were model students throughout. They took part in the service by processing their

banner and the bible up the church aisle and singing a lot of new songs. Well done, Year

6, you make us all very proud.

Sycamore Residential Trip

Last week, Sycamore went on their residential and what an amazing week we had! The

children were all so brave in trying new activities, behaved beautifully and made great

new friends with the East Hoathly children in their groups. One of the instructors

commented that it was impossible to tell which child was from which school as they all

got on so well.

Thank you, Sycamore, for being such a pleasure to take on residential. I wish we could go

back and do it all over again!
