Coming to school every day is an essential
life skill which means you will make good
progress and build friendships. Children
who have fantastic attendance can also
win exciting prizes! This term, the prizes
on offer are Kindle Fires and fun board
games.

Have a lovely weekend,

Stuart Herrington
Principal.
