Dear Parents/Carers

Attendance, attendance, attendance
I want to begin this week by emphasising the crucial role that regular school attendance plays in the academic success and personal development of our students. Consistent attendance not only helps students stay on track with their learning but also fosters important skills such as responsibility, time management, and resilience. Every missed day can result in lost learning opportunities, which can impact a student’s progress. We kindly ask for your continued support in ensuring that your child attends school regularly and arrives on time, so we can work together to provide them with the best possible education. I have included a graph below to show you the link between attendance and outcomes in Maths at St Julian’s school last year.
   We also celebrate pupils who achieve 100% attendance every 2 weeks. They go into the draw to win a £5 Greggs voucher. 

 

Year 6 Open Evening

We were delighted to invite Year 6 pupils and their families into school for our Year 6 Open Evening last night. We look forward to seeing you all for our transition days in July.

 

Community

Well done to two of our students, Jacob and Charley who showed great compassion and care when they came across an elderly gentleman in the community who had fallen. They looked after the gentleman and even arranged for their parents to pick them up and take the man home until they could reach family members. Well done boys!

Also, huge congratulations to three of our Y7 students who have been selected to be a part of the cast for the pantomime Rapunzel in the Riverfront Theatre this Christmas. Congratulations Isla, Elijah and Mila.
