Attendance
You’ll know that as a school, we monitor attendance closely. Last year, we met our attendance targets, which is great news.
The attendance record for your child’s class – last year’s Y4 class – was broadly the same as Leeds overall, but there were two areas we’d like to improve this year:
- the class’s attendance was lower than other schools of a similar nature,
- the amount of unauthorised absence was significantly higher than similar schools, and even higher than Leeds overall – sadly, this was caused by a few individuals taking term-time holidays.
Please keep an eye on your child’s attendance. Research shows that too many absences affect not only learning but a child’s social and emotional aspects of learning.

Well done!
Well done to pupils and parents in Y3 for your excellent attendance figures last year, in Y2.
The class had much higher attendance figures and much lower unauthorised absences than Leeds schools overall, and also, very importantly, better figures than our ‘statistical neighbours’ – these are schools that are most similar to us.
The attendance record for the class was the best in the school. This excellent data certainly helped the school overall to meet our school target for the year – thank you.

Photograph, please!
Please could your child bring in a photograph of themselves as a baby. We will be learning about growing in our new topic so it would be lovely to have these on display. Photographs will be returned later in the Autumn term.
Thank you.

Come dine with Year 4!
In tonight’s episode, Year 4 are guests at Allerton Grange and cook some ‘delectable’ food. They scored top marks from the head chef at Allerton Grange, who stated that the behaviour of the children was ‘awesome’. The food was ok, too.
