This should be done on the first day of absence, no later than 9.15 a.m. but preferably earlier, and, on each subsequent day of absence.

We have up to 20 children in each year group, 140 in total, arranged into five classes. These are;
Willow- Reception and Year 1
Ash- Year 1 and 2
Elm- Year 3 and 4
Oak- Year 4 and 5
Beech- Year 5 and 6
Children in Years 1, 4 and 5 are split. When deciding how to split a year group between two classes we consider academic ability, social groups, siblings and the number of boys and girls in each class.
There will be a member of staff on duty in the playground every morning who will be able to take messages for teachers. Teachers come into the playground at the end of the day when dismissing the class and are available then for informal conversations. For more formal conversations appointments can be made by contacting the school office. You can also write a letter or note for the teacher and give it to your child, or the member of staff on playground duty in the morning, to hand over. When appropriate, teachers will telephone to discuss things.
We organise formal Parents Evenings in the Autumn and Spring terms and an informal ‘drop-in’ Parents Evening, after end of year reports have been issued, in the Summer term.
