Art Showcase We would like to thank all the parents who attended the Art Showcase on Wednesday 21st January.

Dance and Dine Valentine Special:

The next Dance and Dine will be on Wednesday 4th February.  Forms will be sent to each family on Monday.  If you would like to attend, please complete it and return to school by 3.30 p.m. on Wednesday 28th January.  Places are limited – if you are unsuccessful this time, you will be given priority for the next Dance and Dine.

Year 4 Class Assembly

It will be Year 4’s Class Assembly on Thursday 29th January.  Parents are welcome to watch at 9.00 a.m.

Labelling Uniform

We have had a number of children who have lost items of uniform, coats etc. but do not have their names in the items.  It is extremely difficult for staff to find lost items if it is not labelled with your child’s name.  Please ensure all items are labelled.

Adverse Weather Conditions

The school will endeavour to remain open in adverse weather conditions. However, if we need to close the school, you will be notified via the Bradford Schools Online website, the school’s website and by email.  Please make sure to check your emails regularly during adverse weather conditions.  Additionally, if you receive an email regarding the school closing early, opening late, or not opening at all, could you share this information with other families you may know, to help keep everyone informed.

Warm Clothing

Please send your child/children to school with coats, hats, scarves, gloves etc. If your child comes to school in wellington boots, please ensure they bring a change of shoes to school.  Please also make sure all items have your child’s name in them.

Valuable Items

If your child brings their phone, house keys, bus pass, and wears a smartwatch, 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.
