As we draw the Christmas term to a close, I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to our pupils, staff and families for their hard work, dedication, and support over the past months. This term has been filled with wonderful achievements, from academic successes and community involvement, to inspiring Christmas performances, charity events and much more. The festive spirit has brought our community closer together, with events like the Christmas carol concert, visits to read to our friends at The Haven, and our Christmas Fayre, this showcasing the warmth and generosity that make our school so special. None of this would be possible without our selfless volunteers, our incredible FOMS Team, the hard work of parents and the inspirational teachers that champion every child in school. We wish you all a joyful Christmas break and a happy, healthy start to the new year! From my family to yours....Merry Christmas!

82 pupils have maintained 100% attendance so far this academic year.
Last years whole school attendance figure was 95.3%
Current whole school attendance is 96.77%
Our attendance figures for Term 2 are below:
Well done to all classes who maintained 95% attendance or better. We have seen a lot of poorliness towards the end of term which has affected our overall attendance figures. Let's hope the New Year is a healthy one for all.
123 children achieved 100% attendance in Term 2. These pupils will be rewarded with a 100% attendance certificate at the beginning of next term 3.
