Acceptable Use of Computers

 
Dear Parent/carer
Our Acceptable use of Computer Facilities Form must be updated annually to allow your child to use computer equipment in the school. Failure to complete this form could result in your child  being unable to access I.T equipment along with their class.
Please complete the form by following the link below.

Attendance at School

Attendance at school is a National and Local priority.  This is because non attendance has such a high impact on children’s progress not just academically but socially and emotionally also. The illustration below captures what absence looks like.

To assist parents to be aware of the percentage their child has been attending, a text will be sent out at the beginning of each week,  starting this week, with the overall attendance for every pupil.  Parents of any pupil falling below 90% should contact the school to speak with Mrs Milne to discuss supporting their child’s attendance.

Please note that the earlier in the term that your child is absent, the bigger impact that will be seen on the percentage attendance.

         

 

Thank you for your support.
