What a week!
We are so proud of all our children who have moved to new and unfamiliar environments – from the Y6s on transition to all students who spent a lovely two days with their new teachers. We are glad to report that every member of staff was delighted with their new year groups, and all are very much looking forward to starting the year off with a bang in September.
We’ve also had sports days for EYFS and base classes which were a huge success, and lots of classes making use of the kitchen – we hope if you were lucky enough to try some of the spaghetti created in the kitchen that you loved it!
We have one more week to go – please can we request that any library books or school resources are returned, ready to be sorted out over the summer – and finally…
COME ON ENGLAND!!!
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………
59.5 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 219 children who achieved 100% Attendance for this week, which is Amazing!
A huge WELL DONE to you all.
Can you get 100% next week?
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.
For the Final Week of the School Year, the Menu choices will be from Week 1.
A reminder to all parents we are a Nut Free Academy, please read below.
Jump Back Up July is in full swing and there is still plenty to do. What actions will you take, heading into next week?
