Chuf Ofsted Report
The Committee and staff at Chuf are delighted to have been recently awarded a Good grading in their Ofsted Report. The staff have worked hard to achieve this result. There are four headings which all received a Good grading – effectiveness of leadership and management; quality of teaching, learning and assessment; personal development, behaviour and welfare; and outcomes for the children. A copy of the report can be downloaded from here. Congratulations to everyone involved with Chuf.

Family Quiz
Following on from the great success of the Family Quiz held last year, the Village Hall Committee are organising another quiz to be held in the hall on Saturday January 23 2016, starting at 5pm until approximately 8pm. All are welcome and questions will be orientated to both children and adults. So everyone can join in. Tickets are £10 each or £30 for a family of 4 and will include a fish and chip supper and pudding. There will be a bar and a raffle.
Ideally, quiz teams should be of 8 and teams can be made up in advance or on the night. Places will be limited (due to the overwhelming demand for the last Family Quiz) so please let the organisers know if you could like to come as soon as possible. Please contact Alex Wall Morris at alex@willowcorner.net; Antonia Stratford at antoniacarrlocke@hotmail.com or Angela Gray at angela@greyemail.co.uk.
Mobile Library - this will next be in the village on Monday January 25 from 10 until 10.25am.
Parish Council Meeting
This will be held in the village hall on Monday January 18 at 7.30pm. As dates and times are sometimes changed at the last minute, please check the notice board for confirmation of this and to read details of the Minutes of the last meeting and view a copy of the agenda for this month.
Old Christmas Cards
Any unwanted old Christmas cards would be gratefully accepted by Andrew and myself for turning into Christmas gift tags. Please let me know if you would like me to pick them up, or please leave them at my door. We have depleted our stock. Andrew and I would like to thank Sharon at The Bell for having the tags on sale there and to everyone who bought them. We tried another venue to sell them this year and would like to thank Steve and Emma at Bradmoor Cafe and Farm shop in Haddenham for having them on their counter. They sold out. All the staff at Bradmoor make Andrew and his house-mates very welcome when they go there for a morning cup of tea or All Day Breakfast.
