As we begin this new half term, I would like to take the opportunity to emphasise the vital importance of excellent attendance. Every day in school truly matters. The learning that takes place in classrooms builds step by step, and when a child misses even a single day, they miss important explanations, discussions and opportunities to practise new skills. Over time, these gaps can quickly add up and make it harder for children to feel confident and succeed.

At our school, we are committed to ensuring that every child reaches their full potential. Regular attendance is one of the most significant factors in achieving this. Quite simply, the more a child is in school, the more they learn, and the better they achieve. Conversely, lost learning due to absence can be difficult to recover, even with additional support. We ask for your continued support in:

• Ensuring your child attends school every day, on time 

• Avoiding taking holidays during term time 

• Letting us know promptly if your child is unwell

Together, we can give every child the very best opportunity to thrive academically, socially and emotionally. We are looking forward to an exciting and productive half term ahead, with many opportunities for learning, enrichment and success.

Thank you, as always, for your ongoing support and partnership.

Mr Davies
