Headteachers Update
I hope you all have a restful break and a wonderful start to 2024.
It has been great welcoming the children back to school with their enthusiasm and bright smiles. We are looking forward to a busy Spring term.
Today we said goodbye to Mr Martell. I would like to thank him for all his hard work in year six and we all wish him the best for his future.
Thank you for your continuing support.
Miss Laycock

Leave in Term Time
As a school, we are no longer allowed to authorise any requests for children to be taken out of school for a holiday during term time.
Requests for leave can only be granted in exceptional circumstances, and a holiday would not be considered exceptional. Requests for leave must also be made to the school in advance. To do this please come into the school office to complete the necessary Leave in Term Time application.
Parents may receive a penalty notice if their child is absent from school without permission.
We appreciate the challenges that some parents face when booking holidays, particularly during the school holidays. However, regular attendance at school is vital in helping children and young people to achieve their full potential and get the best possible start in life.
Remember that every day counts!
Visit by Broadland Mental Health Support Team on Monday 15th January
On Monday 15th January we are excited to welcome members of the Mental Health Support Team who will be delivering an anxiety presentation and drop-in for parents on how to support their children.
This will be held in the school hall at 2.30 - 3.15pm.
All parents are welcome.
We hope to see you there.


Breakfast Club Vacancy
We have a vacancy for someone to run our breakfast club provision between 7.30 - 8.30am every weekday during term time. Part-time applications would be considered. Please contact the school office for further information.
