ATTENDANCE ASSEMBLIES
Next week we will be celebrating all
the children who have great
attendance, and those who have
worked hard to improve their
attendance this year. We will have a
special attendance assembly, where
we will announce which class has
won King or Queen of attendance,
and well also be drawing the raffle
for our attendance Easter eggs!

Remember, in order to be in with a

chance of winning, you need to
have great attendance (96% or
more!). Every day counts, so make
sure you are at school, on-time,
every day.
SCHOOL PROMS
Next week, our percussion group
will be taking part in the Bradford
School Proms. The group, which is
made up of children from Yr4, 5
and 6, will perform alongside 800
children from Bradford at St
Georges Hall. Good luck to all the
children involved.
Have a lovely weekend,
Stuart Herrington
Principal.
