Welcome to this week's Parkland Post!

Welcome to this week's Parkland Post!  We had a lovely start to the day with our Celebration Assembly where we heard all about the fabulous work that has been going on across our academy.  I loved hearing the reasons why each child received their certificate and which of our Ways of Being they had displayed.  Thank you for joining us for our assembly; we really do love having you in our academy.  I also loved the eager faces on their way in this morning who got to choose from either a Curly Wurly or a Twirl because they were in school and on time!  

Next week, we have our Winter Fair on Thursday and our Celebration Assembly on Friday - I hope we see as many of you at these events as possible.

Attendance Matters!

This week, our whole school attendance was 94% which is lower than last week and is short of our target of 96%.  Let's work hard next week at achieving our target.  

Year 6 were our winning class - they won an extra playtime as they were above 96% and won a new class book on the Attendance Wheel!

Please make sure your child is in every day and on time so they don't miss out on any essential learning.
