Headteacher’s Newsletter – Friday 31st March 2023 – Spring 12

/in , /by

The clocks going forward an hour last weekend lifted spirits and the longer hours of daylight is always a sign that summer is just around the corner.  We arrive at the end of a relatively short term ready for our annual Easter break with the opportunity to relax and take the foot off the gas for a little while. Year 4 made a trip to the Science Museum yesterday and learnt about a range of different and exciting reasons why things happen. They were great ambassadors for our school and were very well behaved. Year 3’s assembly on Wednesday morning was well attended and so to was the workshop. Thank you to everyone who attended. The ladies and gentlemen who run the WD6 Foodbank made sure that every child went home with an Easter Egg this afternoon. We send our sincere thanks to them and look forward to continuing working with them next term. Please remember that MONDAY 17th APRIL is an INSET DAY and school will be CLOSED to children on this day. Have a happy and peaceful Easter.

WD6 FOOD SUPPORT – The WD6 Food support is open on WEDNESDAY & FRIDAYS from 3:15pm – 4:30pm. Parkside families can have access from 3:15pm directly after school.

PLEASE MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO ATTEND

 

 

ATTENDANCE AND PUNCTUALITY – There were over 20 children who came late to school this week on over 50 occasions. This is the largest number of registered lates we have had for a very very long time. Many children who come to school late are often from the same families. This has to improve in the 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.
