Weekly round up
28th June 2024
Attendance
This week's school attendance is: 93.9%
The classes of the week are 2M and 5B both with 99.3% attendance.
We aim for 96% attendance but, currently, are falling short of this every week. We continue to have numerous requests for holidays from school. A reminder that we are unable to authorise any leave of absence for pupils unless there are exceptional circumstances.
OPAL award
On Wednesday, our advisor from OPAL (Outdoor Play and Learning) came to present us with our OPAL platinum award. We are very proud of our playtime provision and are pleased this has been recognised. As we shared before, we are the first school in Bradford to achieve this award. We still have so much more we want to develop outdoors though so the journey does not stop here!
Mr. Singh - our play learning mentor- had an interview with the T & A and a photographer visited school. Look out for Low Ash in the paper in the forthcoming days!

They will return to their new classroom with their new teacher at the end of the day for story time. On Wednesday, please collect pupils from their new classrooms (a photo explaining where to collect your child will be sent next week) and feel free to pop into the new classroom or to have quick chat with the new teacher.
Next week we will also send out some 'meet the teacher' information which will help you to get to know the class teachers a little more.
