100% Attendance and Punctuality:
Our Year 6 class achieved 100% attendance this week. Well done to all of Year 6. Year 6 will be able to wear non-uniform on Monday 15th May.
There were 20 lates this week which affected 5 classes. Please ensure your children arrive at school on time. The bell goes at 8.55am.
Children need to arrive at school between 8.45am and 8.55am, in order to undertake early morning work. Therefore we will continue to record poor punctuality. If children arrive after 8.55am, they will be recorded in the late book and their parents/carers will be asked to sign the late book and record the reason why. Mrs Devine will be closely monitoring children who are continuously late for school, offering support to those families who need it.
If children are regularly late for school, then I will also ask parents/carers to attend a meeting with myself and the Children and Family First Team to address this issue more formally.
