3. My vision for the year…
Throughout the year, my mission is for your children to feel safe, valued and love learning.
I want to give the children opportunities and experiences that they will remember but with a real sense of purpose. The children need to become problem solvers and risk takers as real learning takes place when mistakes are made…

11. Keeping safe online

12. Full attendance is important
If possible dental and doctors appointments should be made out of school time.
Missing just one session can mean that a child misses a vital building block for their learning.
Leave during term time is now only authorised in exceptional circumstances (by the head teacher).
There is a form on the parents section of the website to request leave during term time.

13. (a concern shared early can be easily resolved)
Together in partnership we can ensure your child is happy, healthy, safe and fulfils their potential.
