• Recommended Reads

  Tue 28 May 2024

  Good afternoon, 

   

  I'm currently analysing feedback from our Reading survey for our Advocates and many of you have requested a list of recommended read list for your child's year group. I have included a list on our website: English - Reading |  If you scroll down to near the bottom you'll see each year group's list. I will share further updates on what other things we're going to do when we return. 

   

  Enjoy your half term.

• Late Arrivals & Medical Appointments

  Tue 21 May 2024

  Good afternoon everybody,

   

  We would like to remind you, registers must close by 9:00am each morning. If a pupil turns up to school after this time without a valid reason they will be marked as unauthorised lateness- this WILL impact on the overall attendance record for a pupil.

   

  Our school hours are 08:40am- 3:10pm Reception- Year 4 and 8:40-3:15 years 5 - 6.  If a pupil is being picked up early, we need to be made aware of this in advance with a valid reason.

   

  National statistics show that poor time keeping seriously affects a child's chance of achieving their full potential. Arriving late may mean that you child misses important instructions for the day and can lead to feelings of isolation and disengagement from learning.

   

  Missing 5 minutes each day in a school year is the same as missing 3 whole school days! Missing 15 minutes each day in a school year is the equivalent to missing nearly 10 whole school days!

   

  Medical appointments are to be made outside of the school day or in school holidays. If this is not possible then pupils should attend school before and after the appointment. Should an appointment be made within school hours, evidence should be shown to office staff to authorise their absence and the pupil must be signed in and out at reception.

   

  Thank you 

   

  The Office Team. 

• Update wb 13.5.24

  Sun 12 May 2024

  Good afternoon everybody, 

   

  It seems that summer has finally arrived - I hope you've all managed to enjoy the sunny weekend. Now it is warming up, I'd like to remind our families of our uniform policy. Summer uniform is as follows:

   

  • Black or grey shorts
  • Red summer dresses
  • Normal school polo t-shirt
  • School shoes

   

  Children can also wear a hat and bring suncream which they must apply themselves. For health and safety purposes, please do not send children to school in sandals.

   

  To our Year 6 children, tomorrow is the start of your SATs. This is a chance for you to shine and show us what you're made of. 

  You’ve worked your socks off this year through,

  and now the time has come.

  By this time next week,

  You can say, "phew, the SATs are done".

   

  Make sure you get plenty of rest tonight and have a nutritious breakfast. We'll see you tomorrow morning, at 8:40. 

   

  Year 6 parents and carers: The planned date for the leavers' production and party is Thursday 18th July at 17:30. More information will follow.

   

  See you tomorrow,

   

  Mr B
