Mrs Peake's - News and Notes from the Headteacher 

Dear Parents and Carers,

We have so many dates coming up; I hope you're as excited as we are. Alongside the fantastic learning happening in our classrooms every day, our students have been diving into real-life experiences outside the classroom, making this year truly special.

You've probably noticed some wonderful improvements around the school. A huge thank you to our amazing PTA for organising volunteers to paint the front entrance and brighten up our school. We're also incredibly grateful to 'Pinstripes and Peonies' for their generous donation of beautiful flowers, raised planting beds, a greenhouse and for clearing the nature garden; creating a perfect space for science and art projects. We’re so lucky to have such dedicated helping hands and green fingers.

Now, for some important updates: there's new guidance for managing school attendance and absences, effective from the end of August. Absence fines are no longer optional, and schools must submit weekly reports to the Local Authority starting in September. Remember, children are in school for 190 days a year, so please try to schedule special events and appointments either after 3.30pm or during the 175 days they are not in school. Your cooperation helps ensure that our students make the most of their learning opportunities and will avoid you receiving an unwelcome fine.

Thank you all for your support and enthusiasm this year. Let's keep the momentum going and make the rest of the year just as amazing!

Kind regards,

Mrs Peake  - Headteacher
