Dear Parents/Carers,

Attendance this week

Well done to the following classes who had attendance at over 97% this week:

  • Year 4 - 97%
  • Year 5 - 100%

This means that Year 5 will have a non uniform day on the 22nd November.

Anti-Bullying Week

This week, all children have been learning about how to identify bullying and what to do when it happens.

I thought this would be a good opportunity to remind you all that the school's behaviour policy defines bullying as –

Persistent and deliberate undermining of a person’s self-esteem and feelings of well-being in whatever form this takes.

Should an incident occur, which is perceived to be bullying, we encourage all children to tell their teacher. The incident will then be swiftly investigated, recorded and appropriate action will be taken. If a child comes home feeling the situation has not been resolved, parents need to inform the class teacher immediately. If after talking to the class teacher, the situation has not improved, please make an appointment to discuss the matter with a member of the Senior Leadership Team. They will investigate fully, record all relevant information and take appropriate action. If parents still feel the issue has not been resolved satisfactorily, finally the School Governors should then be contacted.

At School, we will not tolerate bullying of any kind.

As you will all know, there are times when children have problems with relationships and although possibly upsetting, this is usually not bullying.

Dealing with a Problem

If parents have any problems regarding their child, they are always advised to see the class teacher. For an adult to talk to another parent or somebody else’s child about a concern they have, can often make matters worse.

The following Inset Days have been arranged:-

  • Monday - 6th January 2020
