Parents’ Evening

Parents' Evening will be held on Tuesday 22nd  and Wednesday 23rd March, from 3:30-6pm. These will be held in school and at a safe distance. From Monday afternoon, please contact the school office to book your appointment. 

Attendance 

Unfortunately no classes have achieved over 97% attendance this week. 

We’ve seen lots of illness across the school this week, and whilst we want to ensure all our pupils are fit and healthy, please remember that most minor ailments aren’t a reason to miss lessons and can usually be managed in school. 

Thank you for your continued support in helping us to improve attendance. 

Information for Nursery Parents 

As you know, our Nursery Class does not start until 9am. If you are arriving at school early, to bring older siblings to school, we would like to ask that you wait with your nursery children inside the school gates until Nursery is open. This will keep the children away from the busy road and the path clear for other pedestrians.
