A Message from Mr. Whiteley
As the cold weather continues, please ensure that your son is wearing the correct uniform. Pupils can wear a plain t-shirt underneath their school shirts and/or black or grey v-neck jumpers underneath their blazers. We do not allow coats to be worn in and around the building. Students should bring a bag to school with them, which will fit their coat, books, PE kit and lunch in if possible. Please continue to reinforce the fact that we have a no phones policy in school. Pupils should enter the school building with their phone locked in their Yondr pouch or leave their phone at home. A number of pupils forget their pouches on a daily basis. These are expensive and have been provided by the school. If pupils continue to forget / lose or damage these, they will be expected to purchase a new Yondr pouch. This is part of the uniform.
In the last few months, we have had visitors from schools across Wirral, the North West and even as far afield as Kent, who have been looking at the quality of relationships within the school. I am delighted to report that they have been very complimentary in their feedback. It is clear that the school's improvement process shows no signs of slowing down. Thank you for all your support in helping us achieve this.
Over the course of the year, attendance has improved by 3% and is now above national averages. Although the number of children at risk of being classed as persistently absent remains a concern, I would appreciate your support in encouraging all children to attend whenever possible. No absences will be authorised during term time unless supported by medical evidence.
