Everything you need, in one place

Attend today, achieve tomorrow

Going to school every day helps children learn, grow and achieve their dreams. Every day in school, children:

• Learn more. Every lesson helps build knowledge and skills.
• Grow with confidence. They try new things, build friendships and believe in themselves.
• Feel good. Seeing friends and learning new things makes them happy and proud.
• Achieve their goals. Good attendance today helps them succeed tomorrow, in school and in life.
• Help build a better Wales. Learning today makes a positive difference to their community and our country.

Even a few days missed can make a big difference. Missing one day a week adds up to 38 days a year, nearly eight weeks of learning.

100% is outstanding, 95% is well done, and at 90% we work on improving together. High class attendance each week earns rewards.

Stretching every talent

We recognise that we have more able and talented pupils. All pupils are encouraged to develop their attributes, skills and potential within a learning environment that embraces equality of opportunity, so abilities and talents emerge in a wide range of subjects and fields. Pupils use their skills and talents in many roles throughout the school, such as Digital Leader, Young Leader and Maths Buddy.

Pupils are recognised as more able and talented through teacher assessment and pupil performance, correlated with the criteria in our More Able and Talented Policy. You will be told by your child's class teacher during parent-teacher consultations if your child is considered more able and talented.

Parents are invited to share their views on their child's skills through the questionnaires completed each September after the Meet the Teacher event. Please tell your child's class teacher about any certificates or awards they receive outside school, so we can celebrate them in our weekly Achievement Book and Celebration Assembly.
