Welcome back, it really is good to be back after such a long time. Id like to take this opportunity to thank all those people who have asked about my health. I am back to normal and ghting t. I hope everyone had an enjoyable Summer holiday and is ready for the new year. Last year really was a brilliant year and to improve on it will be a challenge. The team in school are ready for the challenges ahead and look forward to sharing the many exciting opportunities with you over the coming year. New Staff A particular warm welcome to our new staff. Mrs. Jones, Miss. Jackson, Mrs. Unitt and Mrs. Damms have now

ofcially joined the team and I hope you help them to settle in and learn what a great place this really is. Contact Forms If you have changed any details could you please let the Ofce know as a matter of urgency. Any Year 3 forms need to be returned as quickly as possible. Dinner Money The cost of dinners in school has not increased, therefore the daily cost remains at 2.00 per day and the weekly cost 10.00. We are able to accommodate changes to lunches in school as long as the Ofce is informed. Have a brilliant weekend. Mr. Rothwell

Attendance Attendance in school is vital. Absence from school means valuable learning time is lost. We aim for an outstanding 97% plus each year. Last year our attendance was just below this gure. You are aware that for the past year I have not authorised any holidays during term time, this will continue, so please refrain from asking as my hands are tied.

I will be sending you out a letter that has come into school from the Department for Education, please take note because it sets out new procedures and guidelines. We shall also be carrying out regular punctuality spot checks this year. The doors open at 8.50 and all children should be in school by 8.55. We will be monitoring children who are late and writing to you individually if needed
