I would like to congratulate all the parents and children who have received a Excellent Attendance certificate for this term. These children have been given the best chance of success and this gives your child a flying start. I would like to thank the parents of these children for ensuring that their children attend school regularly. Well done and please keep up the fantastic work! I would like to remind all parent that good school attendance is important for a child's achievement, wellbeing, and wider development. A child with 89% attendance at the end of an academic year will have missed 21 days of school (over four school weeks of learning missed). Whilst 89% is a positive achievement in an examination/test, 89% attendance would warrant a significant level of concern. Research suggests that pupils who have an average of 20 days absent per school year see negative effects throughout their educational journey – resulting in a whole GCSE grade deficit by the time they leave secondary education. Kind regards,

At this time of year, it’s highly possible that you have a new phone, games console or other digital device stashed somewhere at home, ready to be unwrapped. Many parents also prefer to place some protective measures on those gifts – to keep their child shielded from potential Online Safety risks – while others would like to, but aren’t sure where to begin. The National Online Safety Team have produced a guide which helps you through the process of establishing parental controls on new internet-enabled devices, from smartphones to laptops to consoles. Simply find the device in question and read on to find out what options you have and how to enable them – letting children enjoy their shiny new gadget, without so much of the worry over where it might lead them.
