Harvest Assembly Donations Thank You!

Without a doubt the amount of food donated by families for this year's Harvest Assembly was tremendous. The School's Council are now going to meet to decide who to give the food to. Your generosity is really appreciated and will make a big difference to many people. The children couldn't have described Harvest better:
"It is a time for us to think about people who don't have as much as us." Sophie - Year 3

100% Attendance Half Termly Draw - 183 Names In The Hat!

Amazingly there are 183 pupils still in contention for the 100% attendance prize draw! That represents 65% of our school population, which is an incredible achievement. Because the children and parents have worked so hard to improve the attendance, we shall be increasing the prize fund accordingly. There will now be a £30 voucher for a Reception - Year 2 first prize and another one for Year 3 - 6. There will also be runners up prizes of six £5 vouchers. Well done everyone, we are really proud of how you have helped us to consistently smash our target.

Harvest Assembly Donations

Tomorrow - Tuesday 11th October - we are having a Harvest assembly for the children. If you would be able to donate a tin or packet of food we would be very grateful. The children pointed out that Harvest time is special because we can think of others less fortunate than ourselves. In the past the school has made some very generous donations which I know have been much appreciated.

Parents & Governors Meeting - 9am Monday 10th October

A reminder that all of our parents and carers are warmly invited to a Meet the Governors coffee morning on Monday 10th October. We are looking forward to updating you on how our school has been improving since the Summer term. It will also be an opportunity to talk about the exciting news we received last week! The new building will be ready for half term, and the preparations for moving Years 1-6 are already well underway. We look forward to seeing you from 9am for coffee and cakes with the meeting starting at 9.10am. It is expected that we will be finished by 9.50am

Attendance Target Smashed Again!

For the fifth consecutive week the school is pround to announce an attendance rate of 96.46%! This is significantly above the target set by Ofsted of 95%... so well done to everybody. Ensuring the pupils are in school punctually every day is vital if they are to make the progress we need. Have a good weekend and see you on Monday.
