We will be hosting our next Parent Forum on in November. Please look out for a Group call for the date and time.   The main item will be E-safety and Cyberbullying and how to keep our children safe online.  There will be a presentation followed by discussion and questions.  All welcome!

The school nurse will be starting fortnightly drop-in sessions for parents next week.  They begin next Tuesday 17th from 2.15pm to 3.15pm.  She will be based in The Hub, here at school.

Walking dogs to and from school is a fantastic chance to give them the exercise they love, but it is important to remember that dogs are NOT allowed anywhere on the school site.  If you are walking your dog to school, please don't go through the playground gates and onto the playground.  Thanks for your support with this.

Assistance dogs are, of course, allowed.

Just a reminder, if you haven't yet registered for a parent log on to the website, do email in using the contact us button with your email address and you'll receive one by return.  It is important to have one as we will be trialling an online parent consultation evening booking system in the Spring term.

This Saturday 16th, come along to "Nautical Netherton"!  It's being held outside the Savoy Centre from 10am until 5pm.  There will be lots of stalls, crafts and refreshments as well as fairground rides, live entertainment and displays.  Come along and have some fun!

I've been asked by the Savoy Centre to ask parents NOT to use the Savoy Centre car park for pick up and drop off.  Thank you for your understanding!

Welcome back to the new term!  I hope everyone had a fantastic summer! All the staff are back today for a training day and are very much looking forward to welcoming the children back tomorrow. 

School re-opens for children tomorrow, Tuesday 5th September,  at normal time.

I'd just like to wish everyone a fantastic summer.  

Thank you for all your support for me and for the school this year.  It is very much appreciated!  

School reopens for the children on Tuesday September 5th at normal time.  See you then!

Just to let everyone know that roadworks begin on Northfield Road today.  Please allow extra time this afternoon.  Children will be dismissed at 1.15.  School was NOT informed of these roadworks at any point!

To give everyone a sense of what attendance percentages actually mean see if this makes sense:

96% (national av.)           1 and 1/2 weeks off school in a year

95%                                 2 weeks off

90%                                 A month off school

80%                                 A day a week off school on average - two                                                   whole months off in total!

Over the course of a primary school career, expected attendance would lead to around 10 weeks off school in total.

80% attendance over a primary school career would result in over 1 and a half YEARS off school!
