Careers WeekAs you hopefully know, we have been holding our annual Careers Week in school. We have welcomed lots of different people from all walks of life and professions, including the Lord Mayor, who gave up their valuable time to come into school to talk about their jobs and career paths. The week has been a huge success again thanks to our wonderful children and staff. Thank you so much to the parents and carers that attended our Careers Week Showcase after the Celebration Assembly. I know the children were very proud of the work they were able to share with you all. Mr Waddington |
Easter RaffleTickets are now on sale for our Easter Raffle. Tickets are 25p each or 5 for £1.00. Place money in an envelope marked with your child’s name. |

Milk Money
Our supplier is Cool Milk. If you wish to register your child for milk, please go to their website: www.coolmilk.com.
Valuable Items
If your child brings their phone, house keys, bus pass, and wears a smart watch, they need to hand them into the office where the items will be locked away.
Your child will then need to collect them at the end of the day.
Reporting your child absent
This year we will once again be having a big push on attendance and punctuality. The children are expected in school every day. Children are not allowed to take leave from school. If you do take your child out of school, then you may be prosecuted and fined £80 per child per parent. In some cases, you could be fined £2,500 per child per parent and receive a criminal record.
Mrs. Spafford and Mrs. Khambhaita will be monitoring all children and if they have any concerns regarding a child’s attendance or punctuality, the parents will be invited to a meeting.
If your child is going to be absent from school, please do not ring the school number but ring or send a text to 07938742883.
If we have not received a reason for your child’s absence, we will be contacting you from this number. If we do not receive any reason, then a home visit will be made.
