Early Years

The Daily Echo will be visiting school next week to take photos of the EYFS classes for their "First Class" supplement which they do each year. We will let you know when we have a publication date! If you have declined consent for Press Photos on Arbor, you will have received an email from us to confirm your choice.

Key Stage One

We are so excited to say that the outdoor classroom funded by FISHES is now finished! This is the start of a bigger project which we are excited to see unfold. The thanks goes to all of you for anything you have ever donated, volunteered at or attended - without you this would not have been possible so a massive thank you from FISHES.

Thank you to everyone that donated to our Bags2 School Collection yesterday. You helped u to raise £129.60!!

Laser Show

One week to the laser show!!!! Our resident weather expert has provided the following forecast:

"The forecast remains dry through the coming week as high pressure dominates, although what is termed “anti-cyclonic gloom” prevails; that stubborn grey cloud blanket that doesn’t seem to shift will be a feature through the week.

Into Saturday, it is looking likely to stay dry with a chance that we will start to see more in the way of bright or sunny spells starting to breakthrough with clear spells overnight. Temperatures are expected to be chilly with highs by day around 14-16C cooling to around 10C in the evening."

If you have already purchased tickets an information booklet will be emailed out next week.

What YOU must do:

Try to telephone the school before 8.30am each day of your child’s absence.

Tell the school in advance, of any medical appointments and bring in appointment cards/letters.

If you are not sure whether your child is well enough to attend school, send them in anyway as they often perk up on arrival.

If you and your child are experiencing difficulties with school attendance then talk to us as a first step so we can help!

What WE will do:

Check your child’s attendance every day.

Phone home to discuss your child’s attendance with you.

Invite you into school for attendance meetings if we are concerned.

If we cannot establish a reason for absence, then we may make a welfare home visit.
