I hope you are all well and ready for the weekend. We are looking forward to seeing everyone at the ‘Winter Wonderland Fair’ today from 5pm – 7pm. We had our individual and family photographs on Monday and Tuesday this week. This year, we are using ‘Pop up Portraits’ from Photojenix in New Mills and we are looking forward to seeing the pictures.
Mrs Heys will be returning from maternity leave on Wednesday 22nd November and we are looking forward to welcoming her back.

Lates
We fully understand that being late for school will happen once in a while. However, there have been 489 lates since September and over 70% has been in the Reception, Year 1 and 2. Children who are often late can have gaps in their learning and struggle more with the transition to school and social and communication skills. The children are missing phonics and spellings in the morning and we don’t want gaps in their learning.
If you are struggling to get your child here by 9am, please speak with me about how we can help.
