If your child is 5 minutes late for school each day this is the equivalent of 3 days of lost learning over the school year.

Please ensure that your child is in school on time each day.

5 minutes late each day = 3 days lost learning.

10 minutes late each day = 6.5 days lost learning

15 minutes late each day = 10 days lost learning

20 minutes late each day = 13 days lost learning

30 minutes late each day = 19 days lost learning

90% might be a great score to get in a test, but 90% attendance over a school year means that your child has missed the equivalent of 4 weeks at school.

A school year consists of 190 days at school. Below is a breakdown of what the percentages actually mean:

100% attendance = 190 days attendance. 0 days absence.

95% attendance = 180 days attendance. 2 weeks absence.

90% attendance = 171 days attedance. 4 weeks absence.

85% attendance = 161 days attendance. 6 weeks absence.

80% attendance = 152 days attendance. More than half a term absence.

75% attendance = 143 days attendance. 9 weeks absence.

Congratulations to the following pupils who achieved 100% attendance from September 2008 - July 2009. All were given free tickets to a Newcastle Vipers ice hockey match as reward for their achievement.

Y5B enjoyed 'Golden Time' last week having achieved 100% attendance during the previous week.

Click on the 'comments' button below and let us know what is your favourite Golden Time activity.

Can I remind parents that a member of staff is on duty from 8.50am on the main yard. Parents may leave children on the yard under the supervision of the adult on duty. Please ensure your child/children are at school by 8.55am- whistle blows just before 9.00am. All children are collected by staff from their line on the yard.

Please let your child join their line - it is so important to develop their independence.

New government regulations mean that I am unable to authorise holiday absences of more than 10 days in any academic year. Unfortunately the system will not allow me to do this and absences for holidays of more than 10 days will be recorded as unauthorised absence. This is not a school decision but a legal requirement. The school is set a pupil absence target which is monitored by the Local Authority. I am working with our newly appointed Educational Welfare Officer to implement government strategies to improve the attendance and punctuality of some children.

Pupils from Year 5 and Year 6 were given the opportunity to go on board HMS Northumberland during its trip into the Tyne.

Pupils with 100% attendance so far this year became captains for the day and had the chance to explore the Swan Hunter built battleship.

Our official photographer Alexandra Arkless was on hand to capture the events of the day.

Once again we have been invited to visit HMS Northumberland when she visits the Tyne on 4th April 2008. Fifteen children and two adults will spend a morning looking at the war ship, having a guided tour and sitting inside one of the helicopters. Children will be chosen from Year 5 and 6, this will be a reward for good attendance and behaviour!
