October Attendance Draw We will be having an attendance draw in school. If your child achieves 100% attendance from Monday 1st October until Friday 26th October their names will be placed in the draw. There will be a prize for the winners and a prize for the parents. Olympic Medal in School On Friday 5th October all children will need to bring their P.E kits to school.
School Times Just a reminder regarding school times. The children can come in to school from 8.45am. The gates will be closed at 8.55am if children arrive after this time they will have to come to the front entrance so they can be registered appropriately. If your child arrives after 8.55am they will be marked late and persistent lateness can lead to involvement of the education welfare services. IF THE BACK GATES ARE CLOSED PLEASE DO NOT OPEN THEM School finishes at 3.20pm. If you are delayed for any reason at the end of school and you know you will be late please let school know. This can save a lot of distress for your child.

Can parents please remember they are responsible for their children before school starts and after it has finished. Please do not let your children climb on or over the school gates or wall as the children know that this is NOT acceptable behaviour and a health and safety risk No smoking We would like to remind parents not to bring dogs or to smoke in the playground. If you do smoke, please take into consideration the area you are smoking in. Please avoid smoking in any area that the children may have to pass in order to get into school. Thank You.
