📅 A DAY OFF HERE AND THERE CAN SOON ADD UP

We know that children do sometimes become unwell, and there are occasions when absence from school is unavoidable. 💛

But regular attendance matters because every day at school is an opportunity for children to learn, make friends, build confidence and be part of our school community.

For example, 90% attendance might sound good, but it means missing around half a day every week — adding up to approximately one month of school over a year.

That's a lot of learning, friendships, and experiences!

We're not looking for perfection — we're looking for good, regular attendance wherever possible. 🌟

If your child's attendance is becoming a concern, please remember that we are here to work with you, not against you. 🤝

💛 Together, we can help every child make every school day count.

The School Council and Head boy and girl met Oliver Ryan MP at our working lunch today. They had some prepared questions and some spontaneous ones - including asking his thoughts about anti social behaviour - would locking parks be an idea - and what are the building works near the Entertainer in town? The children found out that Oliver likes to read and even made some recommendations! We found out what politics is - having an opinion on something and how you feel about questions put to you and the challenges of being an M.P. We finished our lunch with a chocolate cake as the council members remembered Oliver said he liked it when we met him in London. Thanks for coming to see us .

⏰ EVERY MINUTE MATTERS!

Did you know that being just 15 minutes late every day can add up to around 10 school days of missed learning over the course of a year? 😮

At Whittlefield, our school day starts at 8.45 am, and arriving on time helps children to:

🌟 Start the day calmly and positively
📚 Be ready for their first lesson
👋 Catch up with friends
😊 Feel settled and confident

A few minutes might not seem like much, but they can add up quickly.

If mornings are proving difficult, please talk to us. We're here to help and support families wherever we can. 💛

Let's give every child the best possible start to their school day!
