Weekly newsletter - 07/05/2021






Dear Parents and Carers,


Below are some awards that we would like to share with you and some important information that you should be aware of.


Parent/Carer surveys

It is really important that we survey our children, parents and staff to have a better understanding of what you think we do well, and also how we may be able to improve. The pandemic has caused significant disruption to us all and as a school, we have not been able to provide many of the additional opportunities that we would like to. However, we would be grateful if you would take the time to complete the survey - It should take no more than 2-3 minutes and is open until Friday 21st May. Thank you! Google Parent/Carer Survey

Chromebooks

Children who have been loaned a school Chromebook should bring them back to school on a Monday, Wednesday or Friday by May half-term. These were originally issued to support children through the enforced full school closure and bubble closures; I hope that the recent weeks of non-bubble closures are now here to stay. We will be able to use the additional Chromebooks in school to support the children with their learning.

Attendance

Attendance for this week is 94.3%. Our attendance for this week was excellent until today, when only 86% of children came to school. Thank you to those who supported us during the disrupted week. Next week, we are open every day!
