News

Not only is our village school a happy, hard working community, as well as receiving a ‘Good’ OFSTED report recently, the school received a letter from the Secretary of State & the Minister of State from the Departments of Education & School Standards congratulating Mrs Burnett, her staff and the pupils for their very high standard of achievement whereby 100% of pupils reached or exceeded their expected standards in reading at the end of Key Stage 2. This means for achievement in reading, Fittleworth School is in the top 1% of Primary Schools in England.

Congratulations too to Mrs Burnett on her appointment as permanent Head of the school.

Well done all of you!

SGN have told us that this is dependent on the ‘curing’ of the tarmac, which is slower in cold weather.

We’ve had a report from the men in the hole in the road (working there this morning) that they hope to finish the work tomorrow (Sat) afternoon. They were dealing with a medium pressure gas main, so a bypass had to be constructed.

There was a phone message from SGN late Tuesday p.m.(29th) to apologise and say that the road is expected to remain closed until at least the weekend and possibly after it. No more information at the moment, but there is a contact number in a previous post.

The No 1 bus stop is at The Swan (both directions) while the A283 through the Village is closed.
