Arriving Late to school – All children who arrive after the bell has gone at 9:00 a.m. must access the school by the main office. Teachers and pupils are finding the late arrivals to school very disruptive as meal sheets, homework collection and teaching begins immediately. Please try and arrive in good time for the start of the school day.

 

Attendance at School – Letters were issued last week to children whose attendance has fallen below 85 % this year. Following on from this please see attached information from the Department of Education regarding school attendance, highlighting how important every school day is for your child.

Please check at home for books that were borrowed last year but not returned. Thank you.

KS2 Walk to School in November – The competition is close for the title of best class walking in November! There are some classes that have 15+ pupils walking to and from school each day. This is fantastic. Please think of all the benefits that comes with your child walking to school. Healthier lifestyle, more independence, cleaner environment, making new friends to name but a few. Keep up the great work children.

Please wear a high viz vest if walking. If you do not have one, please ask a member of staff.
