TERM 4 2025

Headteacher's Welcome

Welcome back to brighter evenings and welcome back to Term 4! I hope you all had a restful and enjoyable half-term break.

A heartfelt thank you to all the families who joined us for our Winter Stay and Play session last term. The children had a fantastic time, and it was truly special to see so many families come together to celebrate the joy of play!

Wishing everyone a happy term ahead.

Best wishes,
Mrs. Rubel

Safe Parking

Please can we ask all parents/carers to take care when driving around our school and park safely. Please use parking around the common and walk to the school gates, dropping off children by our gates is dangerous and puts our children at risk. Please do not block other cars in or driveways, thank you.

Holidays in term time

A polite reminder that we do not authorise any holidays in term time. We recommend all parents/carers read our Attendance Policy and are familiar with it. It is important that all parents/carers understand that if you choose to take your child/ren out of school for a holiday in term time you may be issued with a fine from the Local Authority. Our policy includes more details on this.

In the event of information coming to light that an absence is due to a holiday, the policy will be followed and this will be coded as unauthorised.

Please be aware that the school does not provide work for pupils who take holiday in term time.
