Important information

Changes to Progression Step 3 clubs
For years 4-6
Our clubs are changing: we now offer Choir with Miss Morris, Yoga and Mindfulness with Mrs Williams and Film and
Photography with Mrs Broomfield. This is to ensure that we offer a wide range of activities to suit our pupils. All clubs
will continue to take place on a Thursday after school until 4:15.

Reports to parents.

Reminder: reports will go out on Thursday 11th July 2024.

Parking Reminder

We have had concerns raised regarding parking on the road leading up to our school. We are asking, for the safety of our children, that you park in an alternative place. This is solely for the safety of our community.
The local PCSO has been informed.

Busy Bee Club
This club continues to be on a Thursday. Thank you

All clubs will continue to run unless you are notified via your class teacher and / or a text message from school – thank you

Absences
Absences can be emailed to main school email address to enable registers to be updated with correct
absence codes.
This prevents the need for phone calls during the day.
Football First
We have worked with football first for several years now, and the children love getting involved. They were in school
to deliver an assembly on Wednesday 17th April so please keep a look out in bags and pockets for information.
Football First event to take place on 17th May 2024.

Uniform Swap Shop – We are pleased to say we are getting closer to being able to offer this valuable resource – watch this space.

Co-op Special continued thanks to the Co-op at St Athan for continuing to donate fruit to our bottomless fruit bowl.
This fruit bowl is be used if anyone has forgotten their daily snack.

*Attendance – Miss School Miss Out!
Last week’s attendance stood at 90.4%. Well done to Year 2 with an attendance of 93.2%.

*We are continuing to support the Local Authority with their initiative to exceed 90% attendance.
For those pupils who are persistently below the recommended attendance threshold, referrals will be submitted and discussions around how to support their attendance will be arranged.

If you are experiencing any issues around your child’s attendance and wish for support, please let us know and together we can help.
