What I’m Reading

Dear Pupils, Parents, Staff and Governors 

I am currently reading ‘Water for Elephants’ by Sara Gruen. This novel is gripping and full of the fun and terror of the circus in America’s Depression era. The story may sound a little clichéd: a boy stealing the girl away from her evil husband, but it’s the background which makes it so much more than that – there is constant underlying threat and suspense. 

Why not leave a comment and share what you are reading? Tell us why you love the book!

The best comment next week will receive a £10 book token to be awarded in Friday’s assemblies.

For pupils and parents please leave yours/child’s first name and class in the comment.

Enjoy your reading! 

Mr Foster – Headteacher

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
