PLEASE MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO ATTEND

ATTENDANCE AND PUNCTUALITY – There were 18 children from 14 families who came late to school this week on over 26 occasions. Many children who come to school late are often from the same families. This has to improve this summer term. Please make every effort to be on time for school, the effect it has on your child can have a lasting impact on their rates of progress.
