Hello everyone,

Thank you to everyone who was able to join us in church this morning. I’m sure you will agree, it was a lovely service and we are so proud of all the children. What a perfect end to the spring term!

Attendance and Punctuality

We have seen a significant rise over the past fortnight in the number of children arriving late and after the gate has closed at 8:45 am. Please make sure your child arrives between 8:35 am and 8:45 am. Children who enter school via the school office, after the gate has closed at 8:45 am, are marked as late.

Even though the gate closes at 8:45 am, teaching staff are in class to support children with their learning from 8:35 am onwards, so the earlier children are in school the more beneficial it is for them. 

We celebrate weekly attendance and punctuality every week in our Friday worship.

Last week, Year 5s overall had the highest attendance.

This week, Willow had the best punctuality (least number of lates) and Oak had the highest attendance.

Thank you for your support in making sure your child has good attendance and arrives at school on time.
