      🌟 Let’s Keep Striving for Excellent Attendance! 🌟

      Our whole-school attendance currently stands at 92.7%. While this is a solid start to the term, it’s a little below our target of 95% — and we know our wonderful pupils and families can get us there!

      Every day in school really does make a difference. Good attendance helps children build strong friendships, stay confident in their learning, and make the most of the exciting opportunities happening across our school.

      ⭐ Thank you to all families who support good routines and work hard to get children in on time each day — it truly matters.
      💪 Let’s keep going! With everyone’s support, we’re confident we can reach (and even surpass!) our 95% target.

      Together, we can make every day count!

      🌟Behaviour Bites🌟

      “You belong here, and you can improve with support and practice.”

      Over the coming terms, our school will be continuing the whole-school journey to become an emotionally safe school. This approach supports children’s emotional health and mental wellbeing, strengthens positive behaviour, and helps every child feel ready to learn. When children feel safe and understood, they’re better able to concentrate, recover from mistakes, and build a lasting love of learning.

      This move is research-informed. Evidence shows that emotionally safe, relational approaches improve wellbeing and learning, while approaches based on fear or humiliation can cause harm – especially for vulnerable children. 

      A key part of emotional safety is the difference between responsibility and shame. Responsibility says: “I made a mistake – what can I do differently next time?  Can I make it better?” Shame says: “I am bad. I don’t belong.” Shame increases stress and makes it harder for children to regulate, think clearly, and make positive choices.

      This work is not about lowering expectations. An emotionally safe school has consistently high expectations, held with clarity and consistency – and made achievable through understanding, support, and an inclusive, adaptive approach. The message is: “You belong here, and you can improve with support and practice.”

      We want families to be part of this journey. There will be opportunities to ask questions, learn about the approach, and explore practical strategies for home and school. Thank you for walking alongside us to support behaviour, wellbeing, and learning.
