We would be really grateful for any help you could give. Attendance Attendance in the school has been very poor lately. We understand that due to the ever-changing weather many children have been poorly. Please remember that it is important for them to be in school every day and there are going to be a lot of exciting things happening in school over the next few weeks as we approach Christmas, including the bike raffle and we wouldn’t want any of the children to miss out.
