Whole School Attendance this week - 94%

We are aiming for at least 97% - let's work together to make this happen!!

Please remember that if your child is going to be absent from school you should call school before 8.30am to report this. If they are off for multiple days, you should call school each day that they are off. If your child is suffering from something such as a cough or cold we do recommend that you send them into school and see how they get on. It is amazing how many children perk up once they get into school and we can assure you that if it becomes evident that a child should not be in school we will make contact with yourself as parent/carer.

As a school, our attendance has greatly improved over the last year and this is all thanks to you and the effort you are making in getting your children into school every day.

Our word of the week has been 'courageous advocacy'.

Christians believe that the world is God's gift to us and that God has given people the job of taking care of it by continuing to create good things with his help. The Christian faith is found all around the world and in response to God's gift of creation Christians try to make a difference for good where they are.

When using the term ‘courageous advocacy’ we are referring to the act of speaking out against an issue of injustice, often on behalf of those whose voice is not heard. Speaking out, at whatever level this takes place, requires an element (and sometimes a great deal) of courage! Becoming a courageous advocate for change, therefore, must involve being informed about an issue and it must move beyond simply knowing, to saying and doing. If you had a magic wand and could change one thing in your community, your country or this world, what would it be and why?

In our parent e-safety talk this week, Clennell Education delivered a session about keeping your child safe online. Please see their resource sheet for further advice.
