Unauthorised Absence

It is essential that we maintain high levels of attendance. Pupils with high levels of school  attendance achieve more.

Almost all requested leave of absence is unauthorised. It has to be a very exceptional case for me to be able to authorise 10 days.

Very important – please note that we are not able to refund money for clubs, swimming etc. If your child is taking unauthorised absence

Healthy Eating

Your school governors met earlier this month to update our School Food Policy. They, like nutritionists nationwide, are committed to ensuring that our pupils have a balanced and healthy diet.

The key changes are:

  • Only water and fruit juices to be drunk as part of a packed lunch or playtime snack.
  • No edible items (e.g. cakes, biscuits, sweets) to be brought in for birthday or other celebrations. Goodie bags should not contain sweets.
  • No sweets to be given out as rewards.

We are encouraging parents and staff to celebrate in other ways. These changes will be worked towards during this half term and will be enforced from January 3rd 2017.
