Fathers Football Match

A fantastic turnout for our dads Football Match!

Thank you to all the dads who came out for our friendly football match on Tuesday. The quality of football on display was impressive, but even better was the incredible sportsmanship and camaraderie shown by everyone who took part. It was wonderful to see so many fathers connecting, laughing, building community spirit and not forgetting the children and mums who came to cheer on the players.

Thank you to everyone who cheered and made the event such a success- we’re already looking forward to the next one!

Attendance Reporting

All medical appointments should be made outside of school hours where possible.

If your child has a medical appointment you will need to notify the Attendance team in the office not the Class Teacher. Proof of any appointments will be requested by the Attendance Team.

Please make sure to contact school for each day that your child is absent. You can do this by calling the School or through MCAS.
