AUTISM AWARENESS DAY
On Tuesday we celebrated Autism Awareness Day. The
children took part in a range of activities in the classroom,
learning about how autism can affect people in different
ways. The children were able to experience this by taking
part in a sensory workshop in the hall.
PENALTY NOTICES
Irregular Attendance and Term Time Leave
A change in the law means that the Local Authorities can now
issue penalty notices to parents where their children have
absences not authorised by the Headteacher, this includes
term time holidays. The fine is £60 per parent and has to be
paid within 21 days.
This law has been introduced because absences from school
can damage your child's learning and impact on their
opportunities for training and working later in life.
For further information please speak to the school office or
call the Early Help Service Duty Desk - 0207 525 2714
