Uniform

We believe a uniform looks smart, wears well and contributes to a feeling of belonging to our school.

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.

How you c can an h help at h home: e:

Thursday 26th September- 5pm-6pm- Reading Meeting Refresher

• 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.

Sp Spellin lings…

Exception words are words in which the English spelling code works in an unusual or uncommon way. They are not words for which phonics 'doesn't work', but they may be exceptions to spelling rules, or words which use a particular combination of letters to represent sound patterns in a rare or unique way.

Read ading a at home… e…

Reading little and often - we would like children to be reading at least ten minutes a day. By reading with your child you are:

• Stimulating imagination
• Helping develop language skills
• Helping develop comprehension skills
• Demonstrating that reading is important
