CONGRATULATIONS
to Y4 who have again achieved the BEST attendance this
e
week at 98.3% and to Y3 and Y6 who have again achieved the best overall attendance
at 97.5%.Well done!
It was extremely disappointing on Monday, when 17 children (8% of the school
population) did not return to school when expected. The main reason given for this
was because parents thought there was a training day for staff on Monday. Mrs
Roche and Mr Moran then spent two hours phoning round parents to find out where
these children were and why they were not in school.
Given that the school holiday list is on the school website, and the Newsletter lists
each and every school holiday well in advance, it is unclear why this sort of mistake
should happen.
Parents receive a copy of the Newsletter via email, every week, a copy is uploaded to
the school website, it is displayed in the back of church, it is displayed on the Parents
Noticeboard in the school yard and spare copies can be found in the letter rack by
the school office therefore there should be no confusion about term dates.
Unfortunately, several of these children had to be marked with an unauthorised
absence, along with other children whose parents took extended holidays over Easter,
into the new school term. As a result, the overall attendance figure for school
dropped by 1.4% to 95.5%, whilst the unauthorised absences increased by 1.9 % to
2.3%. This does not reflect well on the school and we would therefore ask parents to
work with us to ensure all the children are in school when expected.
A huge well done to all our children who achieved 100%
attendance last term. Silver certificates were awarded to
the following children who have attended school every day
for the past two terms, Autumn and Spring:
