School News
Step Up Behaviour Management Programme
We have recently been made aware through parent/ carer/ governor feedback that some of our school community are not aware of our Step Up behaviour management
programme. We have also recently made some changes to the programme so we thought it would be best if we released a short video to explain the programme to
you. Please click here to watch the video.
If you have any questions, please come and speak to myself or Mrs Wilson on the gate or send us a Dojo message.

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.’
