Atten endance a e and A Absen ences You can help us by: Ensuring your child attends school regularly. Absences should only happen when your child is significantly ill and therefore unfit to attend school, or if there is an unavoidable/unforeseen reason or circumstance which is causing a difficulty. Ring as soon as you know! Please contact the school office to inform us of your child’s absence. If school is unable to contact a parent, a welfare check may be arranged and The School Attendance Service may be made aware. Sending us a note confirming the reason for your child’s absence when s/he returns to school. Arranging all non-emergency medical appointments out of school hours or during school holidays. Making sure we always have your current contact numbers; this includes all telephone numbers (including child minders’) and emergency contact details.
Holidays s in T Ter erm T Time No holidays in term time will be authorised.
Lat ateness Doors open at 8.30am and will close at 8.50am. Your child will be registered as late if they arrive after the gate and doors close. Being frequently late for school adds up to lost learning: Arriving 5 minutes late every day = 3 days lost a year Arriving 15 minutes late every day = 2 weeks lost a year Arriving 30 minutes late every day = 19 days lost a year Lateness after the register has closed will impact your child’s attendance figure.
Pupil P Prem emium The money we receive for PP is a real bonus to the school and allows us to put things into place for pupils that are over and above. This helps us to deliver a better provision which can really help support a child’s development.

Read ading i in Year ear 1 1: The books we send home should be accessible and not too challenging. They are there to support decoding, fluency, speed and confidence. More challenging texts are used in school when teaching reading. Encouraged at home to read more than just the school books. Expose your child to a range of texts. Your child will be assessed every 6 weeks. Not a race to whizz through book colours. Within each colour there is a wide range of genres and texts. Build fluency speed, ensuring not heavily relying on sounding out. Reading and understanding the text is just as important as decoding words. We only move children onto the next level when we know children are secure with the skills they need to be a good reader and are making important links with their reading and writing.
