Attendance Matters: All day, every day! ✨

Coming to school every day allows your child to get the best possible education. We’ll work with you, to help your child attend as much as they can. We’ve got a great attendance team, so please get in touch if you’re having difficulties.

The School Photographer will be in school on Friday 10th November. Make sure your children are in full school uniform, ready to show off their brightest smiles!

More information will be shared with you after half-term.

Eye Tests and Glasses for Children 👓

Although serious vision problems during childhood are rare, routine eye checks are offered to young children to identify any problems early on. Free NHS sight tests are also available at opticians for children under 16.

The sooner any eye problem is found, the sooner you and your child will be able to get any treatment and support needed. Children may not realise they have a vision problem so, without regular tests, there’s a risk a problem may not be spotted. This may affect their development and education.

If you have any concerns about your child’s vision, please book an appointment with an optician.

Goldwyn Opticians are located on Harehills Lane and larger opticians in the city centre, such as Boots and Vision Express. Where possible, please book appointments outside of school hours.

You can also discuss your concerns with a member of our Pastoral team. Pop in or give us a call.
