Dear Parents/Carers,
We have reached the end of our first half term and it is lovely to see all the children so settled and happy in their learning. We would like to wish everyone a great week off!
Friday Reading
Reception parents are invited to read with their child/ren on a Friday afternoon between 15.05 and 15.15 after half term.
Year 1 parents are invited to read with their child/ren on a Friday morning between 08.45 and 08.55 after half term.
Year 2 will continue as they have been.
Weekly Attendance
Each week we will let you know the weekly attendance for the whole school. We are aiming for an average of 96% this year. This week, attendance was 95.2% with an academic year-to-date of 93.2%. We are aware there has been a lot of sickness circulating but we are hopeful we will see an upturn in attendance in the next half term. Attendance will continue to be monitored going forward and any cause for concern will be addressed.
Lateness also continues to be an issue for some pupils. Please ensure your child arrives in time and ready for school before the bell rings at 8.55am. Lateness can cause disruption in the class and may mean that your child is missing out on vital learning.
Meal orders - please remember to book meals by Sunday 26th October for the week back after half term. Many thanks

The Junior School are holding tours of the school on Wednesday 12th November. If you or anyone you know is interested please ask them to contact the Junior School office to arrange a time.
