Dear Parents and Carers,
Attendance
Well done to the parents who have supported us by having their child/children in every day since the beginning of term. We are always working hard to improve attendance, and this week we are extremely pleased to announce that we have THREE classes who have achieved over 97% attendance:
- Year 1 - 97%
- Year 2 - 98%
- Year 3 - 99%
Keep up the good work! We hope to see more classes on this list next week!
Parents’ Evening
A final reminder that we are running parents’ evening on Monday 18th and Tuesday 19th October. If you have not yet booked an appointment to meet with your child’s teacher, please contact the school office to do so.
School Gateway - support during Parents' Evenings
If you are still having difficulty using the School Gateway App to book clubs or pay for trips, Miss Morse in the school office will be available during parent’s evening next week to offer support and help parents to iron out any issues. She will be in until 6pm on both Monday and Tuesday so if you are attending a meeting with your child’s teacher, please feel free to pop into the office.
Secondary school applications
The deadline to apply for year 7 places is fast approaching. If you have still not applied for your child’s secondary school place and would like help applying online, staff will be available during the 2 nights of Parent’s evening next week to support parents with this.
Please follow the link for information on how to support your child’s application submission.

Health and Safety - A Big Thank You!
Earlier this week, we had a report from parents to say that some used drug equipment had been found outside the school grounds. The items were removed and safely disposed of and we would like to thank all of our parents for staying vigilant both in and around our school site, and helping us to keep our pupils safe.
Halloween Chill Time Klub
Next Friday (22nd October) we will be having a special Halloween Themed Chill Time Klub. We have planned Halloween activities, games and treats (or tricks!)
Spaces will be limited and will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. The session needs to be both booked and paid for through the School Gateway App.
Curriculum Information
In preparation for the upcoming parents’ evening, we are publishing overviews of each classes current curriculum on the school website -

These overviews will show you what your child is learning each term.
