Attendance and Achievement
Attendance and Achievement
The link between attendance and achievement is clear the graphic on the right is data released by the Department for Education recently released from their findings into the link between attendance and attainment for pupils at the end of Year 6. It has shown a clear correlation between attendance and how well children achieve in school. For every 5% drop in attendance, fewer children reached the expected standard at the end of KS2.

You just need a couple of hours available on a week day, once a week. The time is flexible to suit you.

Girls Football Team
Girls Football Team
On Wednesday 17th September, we sent our Year 3 and 4 girls football team to a local event at Creasey Park. Obviously it was just for fun and to help develop the girls' skills and confidence in the game but they also won 5 out of the 6 games that they played. Very well done to them all:
Year 4 - Seren, Pippa, Rosie, Sienna and Orla
and
Year 3 - Evie, Ivy, Gigi and Isabella
Fitness Day and Sponsored Run
Fitness Day and Sponsored Run
Tomorrow, Wednesday 24th September, is the National Fitness Day and children from Year R to Year 4 will be taking part in a sponsored run and other fun sporting activities. On the day, your child can wear sporty non-uniform. You could come dressed as a favourite sports person or just your own sporty clothes. As long as you are ready to run in it, you'll be fine.
Thank you in advance for all of the sponsorship and it all goes to the Friends of Watling who are working tirelessly to put on so many great events this term and for the rest of the year.
