We hope your Easter break was a good one. As usual in our first message of the term, we kick off with an attendance update…

Amazing attendance

For the full Autumn and Spring terms (04 September 2023 to 28 March 2024), our whole school attendance figure is 97.0%. This continues to be above the national figure – thank you.

All the classes are doing well – they’re nearly all above the national attendance figure for primary schools (94.6%), so well done to everyone.

• Reception: 94.5%
• Year 1: 96.8%
• Year 2: 97.9%
• Year 3: 97.9%
• Year 4: 98.0%
• Year 5: 97.5%
• Year 6: 96.1%

Sports day

We’ve been alerted that the day we’d planned for Sports Day clashed with a transition day at Allerton Grange. This happened last year, too, but thankfully we know well in advance so we can change the dates. The new date for Sports Day is Tuesday 02 July and the reserve date in case of bad weather is Tuesday 16 July. We hope this doesn’t cause any inconvenience.

Special needs support

Leeds SENDIASS (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Information Advice Support Service) have some drop-in sessions coming up if you’d like to receive information and advice about SEND services in Leeds. They’re also running a series of specific events.

Contact details

Finally, a quick reminder: if there are any new contact details for you or other people on our records, please remember to let us know. We need up-to-date details for the people on our lists in case of emergencies. (The people on our lists are the ones you gave us when your child started school – in most cases, this will be three different people.)
