Autumn Term
Thank you to everyone that is making the effort to get their children into school every day on time. Some of the children that we were worried about last year have made an excellent start to the year and are on 100% attendance - Well done!
Parents' Evenings will be on Tuesday 22nd October and Wednesday 23rd October; the book fair will be in school that week too.
We finish for half term at 3:20pm on Friday 25th October and school will be closed for one week. School reopens on Monday 4th November.
Uniform
We expect all our children to be smartly dressed in full school uniform. This includes school trousers - not tracksuit bottoms or casual trousers - and black footwear. If you would like anything from the 'bargain box', please ask the office staff.
Traffic
There is often a lot of traffic congestion outside school. Please be patient and consider other drivers and the neighbours. We have had a few near-misses recently and we need to keep everyone safe.
Punctuality and attendance.
The new guidelines from the DfE have now come into effect. The school's attendance policy has been updated to reflect the changes. Remember - where parents decide to have their child registered at school, they have an additional legal duty to ensure their child attends that school regularly. This means their child must attend every day that the school is open, except in a small number of allowable circumstances such as being too ill to attend or being given permission for an absence in advance from the school.
