School News

Welcome Back
It has been a pleasure to welcome our children back to school this week and to see them settle back into school life so seamlessly! They have been working hard and being the best they can be, a great start to the half term!

Loose Money
Please remember no loose money is to come into school.

Money for school trips need to be in a labelled envelope with a signed permission slip.

Loose money can easily be lost and we can not take responsibility if it is. Thank you

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.’
