Attendance
This term, we have seen attendance and attitudes to coming to school really improve. Each week, we announce the overall class attendance percentages in assembly where classes gain ‘minutes’ to use on special chosen activities. These have been sessions such as extra playtime, discos, party games and class movies!
To keep reaching higher, and to promote attendance even more, next half term we will have a range of prizes from local businesses which can be won!
These include:
£30 from Premier shop (Eggborough)
£30 from Londis shop (Eggborough)
2x Sunday lunches at The Horse and Jockey pub (Eggborough)
A voucher from Pure Beauty (Pontefract)
A month’s free gym membership at Fitness Base (Pontefract)
A voucher for a meal deal from Crumbs (Eggborough)
A voucher from Gilmer’s Butchers (Eggborough)
A voucher for Vogue Beauty
To be in with a chance to win, children will be entered into a draw for every full day they come to school where they are also ON TIME. The raffle for the prizes will be drawn on the final Friday of the year.
Year 6 forest school
Our year 6's thoroughly enjoyed a Forest School Day on Wednesday. Thankfully the weather was kind. They learnt raft making as well as the usual den-building, wood carving and fire lighting. The day culminated in making their own vegetable soup, a hit with some but not so much with others. Finally the ever popular s'mores, always a hit.
Year 6 Hoodies
We’d like to say a huge ‘thank you’ to our wonderful PTA for gifting our Year 6 children their leavers’ hoodies. The children were thrilled and have worn them with pride daily since receiving them!
Pre-loved Uniform
To support our families, we have put a unit in the school entrance with clean and sized pre-loved uniform inside. Please help yourselves to this uniform.
If you have any uniform donations, please could these be dropped at the office so these can be sorted and sized.
Many thanks.

Kellington goes National
This week, Ms Mulhern (our Trust Safeguarding and Inclusion lead) spoke about Kellington Primary School and the work undertaken by JLT and OPAL play at a national conference. Our very own Grace volunteered to speak about the work the JLT did early this year and how it has impacted our school community. It has now been seen by many and is something we are hugely proud of.
Well done Grace and her fellow JLT members for helping us to shine

Anti-Social Behaviour in our local area
We have been made aware by the police of increasing and recent incidents of anti-social behaviour in our village and the surrounding villages. The police have asked that these are reported by residents as soon as these happen so support can be put in place to help residents feel safer and to reduce the frequency of these events.
If you notice any behaviours which are concerning or indeed anti-social, please report these to the police.
