WELL DONE!!
New for 2016 We are hoping to start up an online payment service for dinners, trips, residential etc. Keep a look out for the information on the newsletter. The school is also considering having our uniform suppliers opened up to parents to order directly online. These uniforms will then be delivered to the child’s house. We will inform parents of the changes before they happen. If you have any concerns regarding these changes please do not hesitate to contact the office.
The minimum acceptable attendance is 96%.
If a child misses 8 days or more a year they will not achieve 96% this is reportable to Lancashire County Council and may result in a Penalty Notice being issued. Please ensure your children are in school every day and on time. School starts at 8.55am.
