A happy new year to you all, if I haven’t had the chance to say it already. We’ve had a calm and settled (and wet!) start to term, which has been really enjoyable. Uniform is, as ever, very smart, and attendance seems to be on the up. Thank you all – let’s keep it going. 38 children had 100% attendance in term 2, and 42 are gold attendees. Term 3 was our poorest term last year – please join us in trying to make it our best so far this year.
Start times
We are delighted that more children are attending on time. However, may I remind you all that no-one should be in the school building, other than for breakfast club, before 8.50, and key stage 2 should not come in until their teachers arrive to collect them from the playground. If you need to see your teacher, then please see them at this time, or mention to them about an appointment which we can book at another time. If, however, it is raining, we will ensure the children get the chance to come indoors and stay dry.
Scooters and bikes
For the safety of the children, especially the smaller ones, please can everyone – adults included – refrain from riding bikes and scooters in the playground or on the main path.
Smoking
Parents and carers have been smoking in the playground and on the path. Smoking on the school grounds is strictly forbidden and will be challenged.
Texting service
Please remember that we have whole school texting service to inform you immediately of any notices – this will be our preferred method of contacting you should we need to close school for January snow. In order for us to contact you, we need your very latest number – please ensure the office has this information.
Stay warm and dry everyone!
