Dear Parents
Thank you for your support with attendance during this half term of very cold and unpleasant weather. Our average for our school from September 2012 to February half term 2013 is 97.7%. This is high. Well done. A number of pupils have improved their attendance with noticeable improvements in their work as a result. Unfortunately, 4 pupils have attendance below 85% and this is persistent absence.
Reading Meeting – Nursery & Reception Class: Thank you to all the parents who showed an interest and attended this on Tuesday this week.
Thanks to Parent Helpers: Thanks to all our parent helpers in school. We appreciate that you give up your time to support our school and pupils.
Residential Visits:
- Year 6 – Are visiting Castleton in Derbyshire for their field trip in March
- Year 5 – Are visiting Nell Bank Centre in Ilkley during April
Clubs:The weather has curtailed some of our clubs this half term. Clubs will start the first week back after half term break.
World Book Day at Beecroft: We have organised a book fair for the whole school on Thursday 28th March. Pupils will be able to use their world book token, parents are also welcome to come and choose books with their children. (More details to follow)
