Dear Parents and Carers, We would like to make parents aware of the importance of both attendance and punctuality in supporting children to achieve their very best at school. Regular attendance helps children to build positive relationships, develop confidence, and keep up with their learning. Arriving on time is equally important, as children can miss key instructions, activities, and learning opportunities when they are late. We will be sharing class attendance and punctuality information regularly so that families can celebrate successes and support improvements where needed. By working together, we can ensure every child has the best possible chance to succeed. Our school attendance target is 96% or above, and we encourage all families to support this by ensuring children attend school every day unless they are unwell and arrive promptly each morning. Thank you for your continued support in helping us promote excellent attendance and punctuality for all children.

Dear Parents and Carers, Your child will come home with a A4 letter today, they can create a special piece of Christmas artwork that can be transformed into a range of personalised Christmas gifts and cards for family and friends. This is optional please do not feel that you have to participate. What do I need to do? ✅ Help your child complete their artwork on the A4 sheet provided. ✅ Complete the parent details form on the reverse of the artwork. ✅ Return the completed artwork and form to school by Tuesday 10th December. ❗ Please do not send any money with the artwork and do not attempt to place any orders at this stage. What happens next? Once all artwork has been returned to school, the designs will be sent away to be professionally prepared. Parents will then receive a text message or email containing a unique order code. Using this code, you will be able to: View your child's artwork online Choose from a range of personalised Christmas products Place your order securely online and pay directly through the ordering system Christmas products will be delivered back to school approximately 14 working days after the online ordering portal closes and will be distributed to children as soon as they arrive.

A quick reminder that tomorrow is Wear Red Day in support of Show Racism the Red Card. Children are invited to come to school wearing something red to help raise awareness of the importance of equality, inclusion and standing against racism. We look forward to seeing a sea of red in school tomorrow. Thank you for your support! 🔴😊
