Congratulations to Maryam and Iysha who were the lucky winners of the attendance raffle at the end of term. They will be able to choose a gift up to the value of £150!

We were pleased to award hundreds of certificates for bronze, silver and gold attendance levels at the end of term.

Unfortunately whole school attendance has dropped to 95%. This is in part due to some children having chicken pox, a sickness bug and some nasty winter coughs and colds in the last couple of weeks of term. Hopefully all of these bugs have disappeared over the holiday and we will be able to increase this figure back to the target of 96% quite quickly. Please help us to keep attendance high. It is also important that children arrive at school on time. did you know that if they arrive after 9:30 it is recorded as a half day absence?

Look out for the Attendance Newsletter coming out on Friday!

We are fast approaching the end of a very busy and productive Autumn term. Thank you to all parents that have made sure that their children have been in school on time every day ready to learn. 

Today we held a whole school assembly to celebrate achievements and give out certificates. 

We presented 315 Behaviour Certificates for children that consistently demonstrate Green and Gold standards of behaviour. This is something to be very proud of!

We presented 116 99 club certificates for attainment in times tables knowledge.

We presented 78 certificates to children that had met their Accelerated Reading Target.

We presented 25 badges and certificates to children that have achieved bronze, silver or gold Reading Champion status. 

Congratulations to all of the children that have worked hard this term and made good progress in school. 

Tomorrow we will be presenting attendance awards. I wonder how many children will have maintained 100% attendance. And who will be the lucky winners of the £150 raffle prizes?

 

A reminder that school is closed on Thursday 12th December because school is used as a polling station for the General Election. Sorry for the inconvenience. We will be open as usual on Friday 13th December. 

West Midlands Police has been made aware of a smartphone app called 'UNICO LIVE' (see below for picture).  

The app is publicised as age restricted 12+ and designed for young people to upload videos of them performing, singing and dancing etc.

It has come to our attention that there is inappropriate content on the platform involving young people which is being investigated.

The content does not appear to be monitored and we urge you to raise awareness widely to increase vigilance and reduce the likelihood of any child being sexually exploited.

We have received comments from concerned parents and neighbours about unsafe parking at the end of the day on Trimpley Road and Lutley Grove. Please be considerate of other road users, and particularly children and parents that are walking home and trying to cross the roads. Do not park on yellow lines, zig zags or on corners and bends. This reduces visibility and increases the chance of an accident. 

It would be dreadful if someone was injured in an accident caused by thoughtless and unsafe parking. 

Thank you. 

 

Thank you to our Yr 6 pupils for organising and running  a day of fun and to all other children that brought in money to take part in the games. We raised an amazing £424.20p for Children in Need. Well done Woodgate!
