A word from the Principal...<br />
Dear Families,<br />
It seems like we have only just begun this academic year and yet, here we are at the end of the first half<br />
term. Starting a new year can be a really big change for many children, with new adults to form relationships<br />
with as well as new academic expectations and a different classroom. However, all children have settled in<br />
really well to their new classes and they are all well set to make the most of the rest of the year.<br />
Since the pandemic, attendance has been a focus for all schools across the country as it is considerably lower<br />
than before COVID. Our aim is for attendance across the school to be 96%, which would be broadly in line<br />
with pre-pandemic standards. So far this year, our attendance has shown significant improvements from<br />
22/23 and currently sits at 95.3%, so we are almost at target. We appreciate that children will undoubtedly<br />
have bouts of illness that mean they are not absent from school, but please continue to try to avoid booking<br />
holidays in term time. Thank you.<br />
Thank you to the FLS for organising and running our discos this week. The children had a great time as<br />
always! I’d also like to thank all of the volunteers who helped Claire and the team, it was brilliant to see so<br />
many people giving up their time to provide this opportunity for the children.<br />
We will be hosting a tour of the school for parents with children starting school in September 24. The tour<br />
will take place on the 7th November at 0930 and it would be greatly appreciated if you could share this with<br />
anyone you know who may be interested.<br />
Kind regards,<br />
Mr Adam Anderson<br />
Principal
