Unsung Hero of the Week

A huge shout-out to our dedicated Read Write Inc. team and leads, who work tirelessly to ensure every pupil makes progress. Your commitment to developing strong reading foundations truly makes a difference each and every day.

This week, we were proud to host a focused development day led by Farzana and Nazma, who have been doing an incredible job championing reading across the school. Their passion and drive are helping to ensure that reading remains at the heart of everything we do—just as it should be.

Thank you for your hard work, enthusiasm, and unwavering dedication to our pupils’ success!

Unauthorised Absences in Term Time

We follow government guidance on term time holidays and we do not authorise pupil holidays during term time. We encourage parents/carers to take their holidays during one of the scheduled holiday breaks.

You can be fined or face legal action for taking your child on holiday during term time.

LATE COLLECTION OF PUPILS

Some pupils are regularly being collected late from the office after school instead of the park. We understand that occasionally parents/carers may unexpectedly be late. However if you regularly arrive late to collect, we will send your child to after school club and you will be expected to pay the £7.50 charge for this club. Thank you for your cooperation.
