Estyn Report
Please click here to access a letter regarding the release of our Estyn report.
We are really pleased with all of the positives recognised in the report and are already working on the recommendations and areas for development.
I would like to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to our whole team of staff who work incredibly hard every day and I am so pleased that their commitment to our children’s learning and particularly their wellbeing has been recognised.
Thank you to those who attended the parent and carer meeting with the inspectors and for your positivity about our school and our staff. If you have any questions or would like to discuss any aspect of the report, please don’t hesitate to contact Mrs Wangiel

LA Attendance Letter
Please click here to access a letter from the Local Authority regarding attendance. I would like to take this opportunity to remind you of the importance of the children attending school, every day, on time. There is a clear link between good attendance and good results, and we want to work together with you to achieve this. Our school motto is ‘Be kind; be ambitious; be the best you can be.’ We want our children to have the best possible education to give them the best chance in life. If your children aren’t in school every day, on time, we can’t give them this opportunity and can’t give them the opportunity to ‘be the best they can be.’

Attendance Matters
The United Nation Article 28 states ‘every child has the right to have a primary education’. We are linking our attendance performance to this article.
We want our children to have the best possible education to give them the best chance in life. If your children aren’t in school we can’t give them this opportunity and can’t give them the opportunity to ‘be the best they can be.’

Online Safety – Apple Guided Access
Did you know you use guided access on an iPad and other tablets to lock children into an app. This is a great way of preventing the children from accessing any other apps they shouldn’t be. Click Here to find out more about how it works.
