Attendance Matters

It is important for all our pupils to come to school every day and on time! Regular attendance and punctuality helps us learn well in school, make friends and have fun. When we miss school, it is easy to fall behind and miss out on exciting lessons and activities. Poor attendance can also affect our friendships, making it harder to join in class discussions and group projects.

Parents Coffee Morning

We hold a coffee morning every Wednesday during term time, from 9.10am-10.00am.

It’s a fantastic opportunity to meet with other parents and carers, make connections and enjoy a bit of socialising. There’s no need to book, just turn up on the day. We look forward to seeing you!

Save the Date!

There will be a special ceremony for those children who are recognised as having displayed all three of Paradigm’s values (integrity; community; excellence) by the end of June.

The ceremony will take place at Old Ford Primary on Friday 10 July, starting from 2.15pm. Parents/carers of children receiving awards will be invited to attend. We will confirm nearer the time if your child has been invited to the ceremony, along with additional details but, for now, please pencil that date and time into your diary.
