It’s Christmas!
Thank you for your support all term – we are blessed to have such a wonderful school community!
It has been a long term, but with so many highs – we can’t believe how quickly it has passed!
We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Mrs Boyes, who ends her 27 years of service at the academy today. Mrs Boyes has been a stalwart of the academy, and has been involved in so many wonderful developments throughout her time in school, and we are sure many people reading this message have been taught by her too! We wish her well, and hope you will join us in saying a huge thank you today!
Enjoy your holidays, have a fun, safe and happy time full of cheer and love – and we will see you in 2024!
Each week we have an ‘Awesome Attendance’ competition for the class or classes with the highest attendance. The class with the highest attendance will receive a letter and the first class to spell out ‘Awesome’ receives a treat for the whole class.
Which class will be the first to receive that treat?
This weeks winners are………
23 days of missed learning occurred this week due to unauthorised absences. Unauthorised absences are for holidays, parents/carers not contacting the academy or any other unexplained absence. With most minor ailments, children can be in school, so we really encourage you to think about keeping your child at home.
This week we had 231 children who achieved 100% Attendance for this week. A huge WELL DONE to you all
Can you get 100% when we return?
We strive to accommodate parents/carers with appointment times within the academy.
Unfortunately we have noticed that many appointments have been missed, occasionally this may be due to unforeseen circumstances.
If you have to cancel and/or re-arrange your appointment, please ensure you contact the academy as soon as possible.
Failing to turn up for an appointment and not contacting the academy to cancel it has an adverse effect on other parents/carers appointment times. This can also take valuable staff time that could have been utilised by other parents.
New dates and events will be sent out in the new year.
Here are the after school clubs that will be taking place when wereturn.
When we return it will be week 2 menu choices
A reminder to all parents we are a Nut Free Academy, please read below.
There would appear to be a problem with head lice in the academy. Several parents have informed us that their child has headlice; obviously this must mean that there are other children who also have the problem.
I have taken this opportunity to provide some up-to-date advice for treating headlice and I would ask every parent to please check their child’s hair tonight and every night and treat if necessary.
It is not sufficient to simply shampoo your child’s hair; this will not get rid of the lice – parents should visit a chemist, supermarket or see their family doctor to purchase or obtain a prescription for headlice lotion and follow the instructions. An alternative method, and one which does not involve the use of chemicals, is as follows:
It is recommended that the above treatment be done for at least 4 days.
If you know your child has headlice, please treat it as soon as possible and check your child’s hair every night.
The school nurse can be contacted via school, if any further advice or information is needed.
Just a reminder that the Multi Agency Coffee morning will resume in the new year for families who have a concern that their child may be autistic, have sensory processing needs, ADHD or FASD. The following professionals will be there to answer questions; Neurodevelopmental team, SENDIASS, R&C SEN Team, CAMHS/SPOC, Carers Together, SEND Family Voice, Kooth, Inclusion.
You can also get your children’s uniform here.
