February was an extremely busy month at our school. The month started with Ash Wednesday Mass, held at St Martin's Church for children in Year 5 and 6. We were delighted to receive the report following our Section 48 inspection by the London Diocesan Board for Schools, which judged "The distinctiveness and effectiveness of Bishop Winngton-Ingram School as a Church of England school to be good". The school was also noted to have some outstanding features with a strong Christian ethos. A full copy of the report can be read on our useful information page under the heading of SIAS Report. The week before half term was Science Week at BWI, when the children participated in a wide variety of scientific investigations and activities to raise the profile of science in their world. A small group of Gifted and Talented scientists in Key Stage 2 have been working with the Science department from Bishop Ramsey CE High School, and during Science week they demonstrated a selection of experiments to children throughout the school. Other activities included a visit by Year 4 to the Outlook Centre at Bracknell, a trip by Year 5 to London Zoo and Year 6 children visited the science laboratories at Bishop Ramsey. The traditional end to the first half of the Spring term is our annual Talent Show. As ever the standard was extremely high and this year the winner was Charlotte in 3F for singing a song from High School Musical, second place was Megan in 4P for her gymnastic display, joint third was awarded to Christopher in 3F for reciting a poem, and Olivia,Hannah and Olivia in 5M for their drama sketch.
