On a more positive note, last week we awarded a record number of 100% badges for the Spring term, congratulations to everyone who got one!

Attendance Update

Week 4 - Tuesday 8th May

We had another fantastic week for attendance at Shireland Hall last week!

Sixteen out of eighteen classes in Years 1 to 6 beat our whole school target and five of these achieved over 98%. The winning classes in each phase who have earned a non uniform reward day are:

• KS1 - Plum (Y2) with 99.7%
• Lower KS2 - Rowan (Y4) also with 99.7%
• Upper KS2 - Maple (Y5) with 100%

This is the first time that each of these classes has been top of their phase this half term, so well done to them all.

Whole school attendance was 97.9% last week - the highest so far this term, congratulations everyone!

Unfortunately, whilst attendance is looking really, really good, punctuality is still a problem. It is really important that all children are in their classrooms ready to learn by 8:45am. Arriving late can mean missing out on fun learning activities and can also be disruptive to others in the class. If you are often late, you could get up ten minutes earlier, or start getting everything ready for school before you go to bed each evening. Our next whole school challenge is to get lateness below 2% by the end of the school year, currently it is 2.22% - we can do this!

A-MAZE-ING

Attendance update

Week 4 - Monday 19th March

Unfortunately, due to illness, whole school attendance dropped slightly, to 96.3% last week. If you are so poorly that you need to stay in bed or on the sofa then you may need a day at home to feel better and so that your illness isn't passed on to anyone else. If you are well enough to play, or go to the shops, or to a friends house, then you should be in school. If your parents are not sure whether you should be in school or not they can talk to Mrs Shephard for some advice. Overall the girls had better attendance than the boys last week, they were in line with our school target of 96.5% - well done girls!

Despite the illnesses, many classes had fantastic attendance, reaching over 98%! They were Plum, Apple, Cherry, Ivy, Clover, Rowan, Hazel, Willow and Aspen!

Of these, the three classes with the best attendance in their phases last week were:

• KS1 - Plum class in Year 2 - 99%
• Lower KS2 - Rowan class in Year 4 - 98.7%
• Upper KS2 - Aspen class in Year 6 - 99%

As the whole school has a non-uniform day for Sport Relief on Friday, Plum and Aspen will be getting a non uniform reward day on Thursday 22 March. Due to PE on Thursday, Rowan will have their non uniform reward day on Wednesday 21st.

Last week's whole school attendance was a fabulous 97.7%. It was very close between the boys and girls again, only 0.2% between them, overall the girls were the winners achieving an impressive 97.8%. Good work girls! I wonder if the boys will regain the lead next week?
