πŸ“Š Whole-school attendance this week: 96.9%
⚠️ Persistent Absence: 8.6%
And now to the podium…
πŸ₯‡ JOINT 1ST – Mrs Yates Y3/4 & Nursery PM – 100%
A PERFECT LAP! Not a single missed turn all week. ⭐
πŸ₯ˆ Mr Broderick Y3 – 99%
So close to perfection! Flying around the final corner and only narrowly missing the top spot.
πŸ₯‰ Mr Andrew Y4 – 98.9%
Just 0.1 behind! That really was a photo finish.
πŸ”₯ Miss R Jones Y2 – 98.8%
Right on the podium’s bumper and keeping the leaders firmly in sight!
Also putting in some serious pace this week:
🏎️ Miss Capps YR – 98.1%
🏎️ Mrs Robson Y5 – 97.9%
🏎️ Nursery Flexi – 97.7%
🏎️ Miss Thomas Y1 – 96.9% – bang on our whole-school figure!
Elsewhere on the circuit…
🍌 Miss Brown Y6 and Mrs Vickers YR – 96.3%
A small banana skin on the track, but still very much in the race.
πŸ¦‘ Miss Jones Y5 – 95.8%
Hit by the ink just as the finish line came into view!
🍌 Miss Adams Y6 – 94.6% and Mrs Dornan-Steer Y2 – 94.4%
A couple of tricky corners this week, but plenty of opportunity to make up places next time.
πŸ¦‘ Mrs Casswell YR – 91.8%
The ink cloud caused some visibility problems this week. Time for a clean windscreen and another charge next week!
And Nursery AM – 80% had what can only be described as a race full of bananas, ink, red shells and probably a rogue Blue Shell too! πŸ˜¬πŸŒπŸ¦‘
πŸ† Race result: 96.9% overall
A strong whole-school result, but Persistent Absence at 8.6% remains the figure we need to keep working on.
Congratulations to Mrs Yates Y3/4 and Nursery PM on this week’s flawless 100% performance! πŸ‘
Next week: new race, clean track, everything to play for… 🏁

Census Day – Thursday 1st October

Census Day – Thursday 1st October
On Thursday 1st October, we will be taking part in Census Day at school.
On this day, our school kitchen will be serving a special menu of hot dogs and burgers, and we would love as many children as possible to enjoy a school dinner.
Why is this important?
The number of children who have a school meal on Census Day helps determine some of the funding the school receives. This additional funding can then be used to support resources and opportunities for our children.
So, if your child would usually bring a packed lunch, we would really appreciate your support in encouraging them to have a school dinner on this day instead.
Thank you for your continued support.
Shine, Achieve, Flourish – The SAF Way!

Speakers at the Westminster SEND forum.

Mrs Pigg and Mrs Tomlinson have spoken at the Westminster Education Forum and talked about our SEND provision in school. They championed the need for more funding for SEND needs and for earlier intervention in EYFS. We have an exemplary provision for our SEND learners and it was positive to celebrate how our school adapts to fit the needs of our pupils.
