Please can parents and carers ensure that the school car park is not used to access school. Our car park can be busy with cars and vans and isn't a safe place for families to walk through.

Whole School Attendance this week - 93.8%

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 is 'Peace'. Each year the International Day of Peace (IDP) is observed around the world on 21 September. The UN General Assembly has declared this as a day devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace, through observing 24 hours of non-violence and cease-fire. Never has our world needed peace more. The 2024 theme for the International Day of Peace is ‘Cultivating a Culture of Peace’. This year marks the 25th anniversary of the United Nations General Assembly’s adoption of the Declaration and Programme of Action on a Culture of Peace. The International Day of Peace has always been a time to lay down weapons and observe ceasefires. But it now must also be a time for people to see each other’s humanity. Our survival as a global community depends on that.
