ATTENDANCE. We’re on track at 96.2% which is fantastic! The next In It To Win It starts after half term with a reward for each child who attends every day from 4^th June to 26^th July. We have received a generous donation of 3 children’s bikes as an extra special reward. Names will be drawn out of a hat on the last day.

Thinking of booking a summer holiday?  Can we remind parents that there is no longer any entitlement for family holidays during term-time.  If you are taking your child out of school, a Leave of Absence form, available from main reception, must be completed.  If children are taken out of school without authorisation a penalty notice may be issued and a fine imposed by the Local Authority, not school.  Only a maximum of 5 days can be authorised by the school in exceptional circumstances; family holidays, cheap holidays, birthday celebrations, family events will not be authorised.

BREAKFAST CLUB. This continues to be FULLY BOOKED each week. It is imperative to book your child’s place IN ADVANCE with a booking form at least the week before a place is required. We have limited space and staffing so cannot accommodate children who have not booked and just turn up on the day.
