Last week, some of the children, who access the Electric Umbrella Music Machine workshop, attended the Electric Umbrella Christmas Show at Watford Colosseum. The children had so much fun dancing to their songs and getting involved in the concert. Some of our children even had the opportunity to take the microphone and perform alongside the group.
At Central Primary School, we take attendance and punctuality very seriously. We aim to have an attendance figure in excess of 96% . Our current attendance percentage is 94.3%.
Attendance award:
KS1 - no class was above 95%
KS2 - Walnut - 98%
Please remember arriving on time for school is important because late arrivals will miss and also disrupt the learning already happening in class.
If you have concerns about or need support with your child's attendance, please do not hesitate to contact me.

At Central Primary School, we recognise pro-social behaviours in Key Stage 2 by giving children ClassDojo points. Every half term, the classes decide on a collective target to earn a class reward. In addition, at the end of the half term, we hold a ClassDojo raffle, where the children can win some exciting prizes! How is your child(ren)'s class doing?
