Whole School:

 

• We had 96 late marks this week. Well done to the 308 pupils who arrived at school on time every day ready to learn. Children arriving after 8:45am will be marked as late and parents will be asked to sign children in via the screen in the school office. If you are struggling to get your child to school on time or have concerns about your child being late, our PFSA Mrs Bedford will be available most mornings to offer support. Remember to report absences to the school office by 9:00am
