Support Us with Attendance!
Your child's attendance is so important for them to keep improving each day. We asked that you make Doctors appointments on Monday's or as late as possible in the day. We also need your support with not taking your children out early, unless it's an emergency. If they are ill, ensure you send a note with them when they return, otherwise it will be unexcused.
