Dear Parents and Carers,
I hope you are well and have had a good week. Below are some awards that we would like to share with you and some important reminders and information that you should be aware of.
● Masks must be worn by parents on the school site (unless medically exempt).
● Parents must continue to exercise social distancing in and around the school.
● School will remain closed after lunch on Friday (12-50 for KS1 and 1-00 for KS2). Google Classroom work will be set for the children to complete at home. Please note that younger children cannot be collected by siblings in KS2.
● Homework Club on Friday afternoon remains available for parents who would like their child/children to remain at school. Please complete the Google Survey to secure a place.
● Children who have been lent Chromebooks should keep them at home to complete their homework and Friday afternoon Google Classroom learning.
Attendance
Attendance for this week is 93.8%. This is really disappointing and something we need to improve for next week. We are working really hard to support the children on their return to school following the enforced school closure and we really need your support within this. We do of course, understand that there are times when children are unable to come to school as they are unwell. If we can help in any way, please do let us know.

Mr Denchfield’s Wonderful Wall of Work!
I have a new noticeboard in my room which has been dedicated to displaying children's fantastic learning. Teachers are able to send children to me to discuss their learning. They will receive a special headteacher’s sticker, have their work copied and added to the display and have their picture added to our Facebook page for all to see! Well done to Ellie (Brazil) for being the first to have their work displayed!
