With only one week to go before half term, could you please all ensure that meal payments are cleared and enough funds are on your child's account for meals to be taken next week. Remember the cost is £2.40 per day or £12 for the whole week.
This week we have celebrated the winners of the Parish Council holiday competition in a special assembly attended by counsellor Mark Ouzman. Well done to all the winners and for everyone who provided entries that made it so hard to judge, a great effort!
We had a packed hall this morning for the Nursery Assembly. The children sang to us, told us stories and shared their learning. It was a lovely event and made us proud of our youngest pupils.
Thank you to all those who completed our questionnaires at the class assemblies last term. We do really value your opinions and have digested your responses in detail. You will find the outcome of this on the Newsletter page on our website.

A special well done to Years 1 and Yr4 who have achieved well above their average.
Staffing
We are sad to announce that Mrs Tracey will be leaving us at the end of this term due to her family relocating. I'm sure you would like to thank her for her dedication and support of the school when you see her over the coming months.
Reminder
Please ensure your child is equipped with everything they need for the day i.e. PE kit, water, sun hats, book bag etc. before they arrive at school. An increasing amount is being dropped into the office which means classes are being interrupted and children are getting worried when they arrive without the items they need.
This week we have had our first class assembly with parents visiting the classroom afterwards. It was great to see the parents engaging with their children's learning.
Notices
Ice creams are on sale after school today to help raise funds for the Yr6 leavers event.
A limited number of child complimentary tickets are available from the school office for the Hertfordshire County Show on Saturday 26th or Sunday 27th May.

Every class achieved above their average this week. Well done. That means more children are reading at home and sharing books with you. Year 3 and Year 4 made the greatest improvement.
Attendance
After a visit from the County Attendance Officer I have been asked to remind you that any child who has an absence below 90% is highlighted as a persistent absentee. Please check your child's attendance on the Gateway. The government expect all children to be at 96%. It is a legal requirement that they are in school on time and we will enforce penalty payments if needed.
