Leavers Mass 2018
Leavers mass this year is on Wednesday 18th July at 9.30am in the school hall.
Staff changes from September
Mrs Leaker has decided to return to her role as Teaching Assistant, rather than class teacher, as she would like to spend more time with her family. We are really pleased that she is staying with us at Christ the King.
We would like to welcome our new teacher, Miss Kingscote, to Year 3 in September. Many of you will know Miss Kingscote as she has been teaching in Year 1 on her last student placement.
- Miss Letherby - Reception
- Mrs Rowland - Year 1
- Mrs Triggs - Year 2
- Miss Kingscote - Year 3
- Mr Searle - Year 4
- Mr Purser - Year 5
- Mr Prichard - Year 6
Mrs Gaunt will be joining us as our new Reading Recovery Teacher.
INSET (Staff Training Day) in September
The school will be closed on the first day of the new academic year (Monday 3rd September). This mean that the new school year will begin on Tuesday 4th September.
Attendance
Well done to the following classes who had attendance at over 97% this week:
- Reception with 97%
- Year 3 with 97%
Leave of absence during term time
We must remind all parents that the Headteacher CANNOT authorise any leave of absence during term time unless for exceptional circumstances. Any requests must be made in writing on a form available from the school office and must be made at least ten days before leave is due to commence. Any leave taken that has not been considered exceptional will be recorded as unauthorised. There will be two unauthorised absences recorded for each day - morning and afternoon. If there are eight or more unauthorised absences recorded within a ten week period, the school can issue a penalty notice. This will be £60 per child for each parent, meaning a possible penalty charge of £120 per child.
We appreciate that holidays taken during term time can be much cheaper than those taken during the school holidays but we have a legal responsibility to ensure that every child is attending school and receiving their education.
