Newsletter 01-04-2021

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 information that you should be aware of.
Attendance

Attendance for this week is 92.5%. This is 3.5% below our targets and a concern. I hope we will see this increase next term as it is really important our children attend school every day.

If you have any ideas as to how we can further encourage attendance or any other ideas that will improve our weekly percentage, please do let us know! Mail@mead.havering.sch.uk
