Attendance and Punctuality

We have been delighted to see a huge improvement in attendance this half term (96.2%) compared to the same half term last academic year (93.8%).

We have also seen a significant reduction in lates from 137 in Autumn 1 last year, to 57 this year! This is a brilliant effort from everyone and we are very grateful for your support.

It has been a jam-packed final week of this half term and the staff and children are all ready for a break!

It has been lovely to see so many parents/carers in school for our parent drop-ins and to see the children’s PE dances this week.  I hope you enjoyed looking at the work the children have done so far this year.  I have been really impressed at some of the progress made by children over the last 8 weeks and it was lovely for teachers to be able to share that with you this week.

Smartphone Free Childhood

This ‘Smartphone Free Childhood’ project aims to draw attention to the negative effects that smartphones and social media can have on children. One of the difficulties of reducing phone use is the use of smart phones within a child’s peer group. The research shows the problems that can come with smartphone use such as access to harmful content, addiction, academic distraction, cyberbullying and mental illness.
The Smartphone Free Childhood projects asks parents to “pledge” to a smartphone free childhood for their children.
