Thank you for your continued support in helping your child arrive at school ready to learn. A reminder that our school gates are open from 8:30am until 8:45am. This allows children plenty of time to enter school, settle into their classrooms and be prepared for the start of the school day.

Recently, we have seen an increasing number of children arriving at 8:50am or later. Late arrivals can be really unsettling for children and disruptive to learning, as important morning activities and instructions may already have begun.

We kindly ask all families to ensure that children arrive between 8:30am and 8:45am. Thank you for your support in helping us maximise learning time and ensure that every child gets the best possible start to their day.

Aim for HIGH, HIGH, HIGH SCHOOL ATTENDANCE... 

*Good attendance helps children achieve their full academic potential.

*Regular attendance supports positive mental health, wellbeing and friendships.

*Being in school every day helps children develop confidence, resilience and social skills.

*Strong attendance ensures pupils do not miss important learning and enrichment opportunities.

*Good attendance establishes positive habits that prepare young people for the next stage in their educational journey.

And finally...

DON'T FORGET!
