Our weekly message: Friday 27 February 2026

Friday 27 February 2026

Spring has sprung… It’s felt great to start and end our school day with more daylight and  – even sometimes – a glimpse of the sun! To cap it all, this Sunday marks the start of meteorological spring.

Number challenge

Does your child know their times tables and other number facts? On Wednesday, children did their number challenge for the second time – has your child’s scores improved?

Thank you for all the sponsor money collected.

World Book Day

Here’s a re-cap on an email we sent earlier this week…

Next Thursday is World Book Day. We’ll celebrate with lots of brilliant book-based activities through the day!

We alternate years when we dress up – this year is a dressing up year.
If your child wants to, they can come dressed as a book character or anything else book-related (but please don’t feel the need to go out and spend money on a costume).

In a reading-themed day, children will hear teachers read aloud their favourite stories, spend time in other classes reading with different children and explore new authors and books.

Attendance

Good news… Our attendance so far this year is 96.2% – this is a higher than the national figure for primary schools (94.8%).

Our current attendance rate matches our overall 2024-25 attendance rate. Let’s see if we can beat this by the end of the year!
