Dear Parents,
Happy New Year and welcome back to the Spring Term. I hope you all had a lovely break. We have had a brilliant first day back in school and it has been lovely to see all the children and hear all about their holidays.
This half term we welcome Miss Seddon to Rhino’s Class. She will be with us for January, and we hope she enjoys her time with us.
Attendance
Attendance is a high priority for the government currently. We have attached to this email our first Attendance Newsletter which aims to keep you informed on ways of ensuring your child is in school as much as possible. We hope you find it helpful.

Mobile Numbers
If you or a family member were lucky enough to get a new mobile phone over the break can you please make sure you send the number into the office so we can keep our emergency contact file up to date.

Can I request that parents stop lifting their children over the fence onto the playground at the beginning and end of the school day. Please use the main gate or come through the reception door. Thank you for your support in this matter.
