Dear families, As mentioned on March's Newsletter, there has been an attendance campaign launched across the county to help increase school attendance in Norfolk. In collaboration with this campaign, we have revised our school guidance to absences due to illness - electronic copy attached and paper copy will be sent out today too. Further details can be found on the NHS website https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/is-my-child-too-ill-for-school/ or if you are still unsure, please speak to a member of staff in the school office. We also have a close relationship with the Mental Health Support Team who have great knowledge and can offer advice, alongside the wealth of information on the Just One Norfolk website https://www.justonenorfolk.nhs.uk/ where parents can make self-referrals for their children for some services.

Dear families, If you have not yet booked an appointment for Parent's Evening, please can we ask that you log onto SchoolPing or contact the school office to book as soon as possible. Thank you for your support.

Dear families, Just a reminder it is World Book Day this Thursday (7th March). All children are invited to come to school dressed as a book character. As always, we DO NOT expect or wish for families to purchase brand new costumes for this event, we love to see your home made creations.

Year 1 and 2 classes' Family Learning Phonics sessions are tomorrow (Tuesday 5th March) We hope to see you then.
