Rights Respecting School – As a Rights Respecting School, we focus each month on a particular Article from the United nations Convention of the Rights of the Child. Assemblies, Circle time and class activities are based on these Rights. In connection with these, we also have a Value of the Month e.g. Together, the Rights & Values encourage our learners to be respectful of each other, safe, and to be the best they can be.

Right of the Month for March – You have the right to an identity, including name & nationality

Value of the Month for March – Love

Attendance – Just a reminder that if your child is not going to be in school, please inform our Attendance Officer – Miss Rees by 9.30am via email or leaving a message on our absence line stating the reason for your child’s absence.

Diarrhoea & Vomiting – The guidance from the NHS is – Anyone with symptoms of diarrhoea and vomiting should stay at home and not attend school or nursery settings until 48 hours after symptoms have resolved.

Routine Appointments Where ever possible please make routine appointments such as Dentist, Opticians etc. out of school time. If this is not possible, please make them for late afternoon, and arrange to collect your child early from school. If your child does have an appointment in the morning they should attend school after the appointment.

Achievements – We love to celebrate children’s achievements, and if they have any achievements out of school for sport, music, drama etc. please ask them to bring in their certificates and/or medals etc, so that they can have a leaf of our achievement tree or have their photo displayed in our Hall of Fame.
