Please make sure we have your up-to-date mobile phone number. Not only do we need it to contact you in an emergency, but we also send lots of information and reminders to our main contacts by text. In order for our children to function to their full potential it is recommended that they sleep between 9-11 hours each night. This allows their bodies to relax and prepare for the next busy day. Please support us by trying to ensure children go to bed at a reasonable hour and are in school before 8.45am each morning. Attendance Attendance over the last week was 98.2% - a fantastic achievement. Thank you to all for your support and let’s keep it up!
