• Celebrating With Positivity

  Thu 25 Jan 2024

  Has your child received a positive feedback this week? 

  Did you know adults in school record positive behaviour?

   

  Teachers and other adults in school give stickers and golden tickets  to recognise positive achievements, acts of kindness, going over and above to show the school values - BE SAFE, BE KIND, BE SMART

   

  Pupils are rewarded in many others ways in school too. these include:

  • praise, for doing the right things, following our school values, being polite, helping others.
  • a moving up the class behaviour chart, for making good choices throughout the day, 

   

  Find out more about how we support and manage pupils behaviour by reading our behaviour policy.

• Punctuality and why it is important

  Thu 25 Jan 2024

  Arriving on time for school is one of the best ways to help your child reach their full learning potential. Research shows that arriving just 5 minutes late each day can impact the amount of lessons they miss.
   

  • Arriving 5 minutes late every day, roughly adds up to  over 3 days lost each year

  • Arriving 15 minutes late every day, roughly adds up to 2 weeks absence a year

  • Arriving 30 minutes late every day, roughly adds up to 19 days absence a year

   

  Please support your children with this by ensuring they arrive at school on time every day.  

  
      Main School times

  • 7.30am - Breakfast Club Opens

  • 8:30am - Children permitted onto school yard

  • 8:45am - Classroom & external doors open.

  • 9:00am - All classes, registration. Lessons begin immediately after registration.

   

  When children arrive late it can be disruptive for the class teacher and the other children in the class. It is also unsettling for the child, because they may  miss the important instructions for the first lesson of the day.

   

  Children who arrive at school after the doors have closed  are late, they should go to the office to sign in via the main reception. 

• Collecting Children

  Thu 25 Jan 2024

  Dear Parents and Carers,

   

  We would like to remind you of the importance of collecting your children promptly from school. We understand that waiting around in cold and wet weather can be unpleasant, so we have asked our teachers to dismiss at the correct time.

   

  If you are running late, please telephone the school office to let us know. Whenever, possible staff  can arrange for your child to be taken over to the after-school club to be supervised and have a snack until you arrive. This is particularly useful when teaching staff have training, meetings or are teaching immediately after the school day finishes. 

   

  Please note that there is a charge of £4.50 which covers anytime used until 4pm. 

   

  Thank you for your cooperation.
