Attendance, Reading Records and Packed Lunches

Sunday 01 February 2026

A quick snapshot of some big wins and quick prompts for Year 5…

I want to express how pleased I am with Year 5’s attendance over the last few weeks. A massive well done to everyone for arriving to school at the correct time – we even managed to win the school attendance award last week!

A reminder for reading records…

Year 5 weekly reading record checks have been high in quantity on average this year. This is just a quick reminder to keep bringing them in once per week, signed by an adult. The children are doing really well with their home tasks and it really helps us out at school (e.g. finding new vocabulary for our writing). Well done to those who always bring in their reading records – I love seeing them!

Packed Lunches

I have noticed a few packed lunches (and playtime snacks) that don’t follow our packed lunch policies. I appreciate that children have specific likes to foods and drinks, so I’ve attached the packed lunch guidance below to help mix and match lots of food groups. Please make sure that children have water in their water bottles.

Thanks everyone for your continued support.
