Extracts from the report from Emmakulatha (headteacher)
Sent with the school reports third term Sept. 2021
Greetings from the Bethany pre and primary school, I am delighted to
report that we have successfully completed our third school term. I
received very positive feedback from our former pupils on their progress at
secondary school; this shows that we really indeed start them off on the
right path. Teachers’ commitment to the Bethany vision has significantly
improved. It is very encouraging to see teachers bonding and sharing a
sense of belonging to the Bethany school team. It is very encouraging to
see some pupils who were below average last term climbing up the ladder
and achieving good grades. Teachers are fantastic at what they are doing
in the class; this can be seen in the reports and pupils progress. I have
also included some of the teacher’s reports, I am very sure you will find
these really interesting. For the full report please click here
Latest news - Our standard 7 children have just
received their results:
Of the 19 children in std. 7, 4 got an average of Grade A and
15 got grade B. Congratulations to pupils and staff not
forgetting Emmakulatha our Headteacher
