Governors update A number of policies were reviewed by governors. One particular area concerning governors is attendance, with overall unauthorised attendance figures lower than we would like. A new draft policy which provides the school with a number of tools to address poor attendance was discussed. Communication will take place with parents before this new policy is put in place. Breakfast = Brain Power Breakfast gives children the energy they need to handle their busy days. Children who eat a healthy breakfast go longer without feeling hungry & are able to concentrate better in the classroom. A healthy breakfast can help children perform better at school IDEAS: A banana or any fruit Healthy yoghurt Boiled egg and toast Cereal – low sugar content, muesli Toast with peanut butter |

Can you play the piano? Would you be able to volunteer to accompany the children from time, for singing, assemblies and productions?
