Friday 18th October

Dear Parents, carers and guardians,

Can I start by thanking you for all the support you have given to school over the first half term of the new academic year.  What a half term it has been! On 99% of all measures we have massively improved on the same half term in 2018.  Attendance is up across virtually all measures – and up significantly and well above the national average now.  Persistent Absence is down by almost 5% and now well below the national average.  Exclusions have drastically reduced across all measures.  It has been a wonderful way to start the year.
