Enjoy Spring Bank Week – after today’s rain, the lovely weather is set to continue

(we hope)!  School will re-open on Monday 4 June.

Years 5 and 6 will return today after a fabulous residential activity visit.  They can be collected at 2pm, along with their siblings.

1. Reception and Year One looked SO scary in their bug outfits today – they frightened the life out of us!

Attendance and Punctuality. 

Despite our best efforts, we have not yet solved the problem of children arriving late each day.  School opens at 8.35am and children must be in class for the register by 8.50am.  Children receive

a late mark after this time and up to 9am.  After 9am, they receive a ‘U’ mark which makes them absent for a half day.  However, this has done nothing to prevent around a dozen children each day arriving late at the school office.  A child walking in to school late disrupts the whole class and this is happening in every class, every day, multiple times. Please support us in our efforts to give your children the education they deserve by ensuring they arrive punctually every day.
