Reminder: Careers and Science WeekWe will be holding a Careers and Science Week within school starting on Monday 9th March and running to Friday 13th March. The week will be full of career and science-related activities which will raise the aspirations of our children, challenging them to aim high and dream big, thinking about what job they might like to do in the future. Throughout the week we will be bringing businesses, industry and education together. These types of positive encounters will provide opportunities that enable our children to grow in their knowledge and confidence, equipping them to pursue their dream job in the future. The children will also be taking part in a number of Science workshops. On the 9th March, children will be asked to come dressed for the day in the clothing of their ‘Dream Job'. It would be amazing to see your children dressed up as what they want to be when they are older. The week will finish on Friday 13th March with a special celebration assembly focusing on the work done during the week. A Careers and Science Showcase will then follow the Celebration Assembly to which you are all invited. I’m sure it will be a fun and inspiring week, Kindest Regards Mr Waddington. |

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.
