Attendance Matters

Our whole school improved since the last week we were in school and is 93.4%.  We still have a long way to go before we manage to hit our target of 96% and I would like to ask you all to help us next week by making sure your child is in school every day and on time.  I will be giving out some early bird prizes one day next week - remember, you have to be in it to win it!!

Class	%
Reception	93.3
Year 1	92.6
Year 2	93.8
Year 3	96.3
Year 4	92.4
Year 5	96.2
Year 6	88.6

 

Classes who reached 96% or above have earned themselves an extra playtime - well done!  We have started a new class attendance challenge and Years 2, 3 and 5 were able to put stars on the leaderboard - they are really succeeding together.

Y1 History Workshop

Thank you to everyone who came to Year 1's History Exhibition - we hope you had a wonderful time exploring all of the toys from past and present and that you were impressed by your child's knowledge.  We love welcoming our families into the academy and love how involved you are with your children's learning.

Early Years New Build Update

We have VERY exciting news!  Our Early Years new build has been completed this afternoon and it looks absolutely gorgeous!  Late into the night tonight and over the weekend, staff will be working hard moving furniture into the new space and getting it ready so we can welcome you next week - we will give you more detailed information over the course of the weekend so you know which door to go to on Monday morning.

And finally...

We hope you have a brilliant weekend whatever you decide to do.  I will be in school all weekend helping to get the new Early Years classrooms ready in time for school on Monday with Mr Watson, Mrs Shirra and Ms Pascoe.  We will see you all bright and early on Monday where our doors will open at 8:40am ready for learning to begin at 8:45am.
