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.
Christmas Shoe Box Appeal -The Christmas Shoe Boxes will be collected on Friday 18thNovember.
Thanks to those who have already contributed.
School Library – The school library is fully operational with children having access to change their books throughout the school week. Books have AR codes attached. Parents can follow their child’s progress in Accelerated Reading and encourage them to attain the targets set by the class teachers. 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.

Keep up the great work children.
