Woodlands Weekly | 21st October 2022

We have had a fantastic first half term of the school year, with our children making us so proud each and every day. Thank you to our parents and families for their engagement and support this half term, and a massive thank you to our staff for their hard work and dedication.

We break up Friday 21st October, 3:15pm
We return Monday 31st October, 8:40am

School Day Timings

We are so pleased to see how enthusiastic our children and families have been at getting to school on time at 8:35 am.

From Monday 31st October, our school day times are slightly changing.

Doors open 8:40 am
Learning starts and doors close 8:45 am
School day ends and doors open 3:15 pm

We’ve decided to make this slight change to ensure we are able to deliver the statutory 32 and a half hours of learning per week and to allow enough time in the morning to be prepared to receive your children. 

We understand that this will take some time to get used to and we are here to support. If you have any issues or concerns, please get in touch.

After Monday 31st October, any children who arrive after 8.45am will be given a late mark on the register, and after 9:15 am will be given a late absent mark. This is still the same as it has been since the start of the year.

Attendance

Coming to school everyday 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 so please get in touch if you’re having difficulties.

Leeds United Foundation Workshop with Year 6

This week, Year 6 took part in a workshop with Vicky from the Leeds United Foundation. In the sessions, the children learned about age restrictions, spotting anti-social behaviour and explored how to make positive choices when out with friends. Our children showed fantastic engagement in the sessions and we are looking forward to welcoming The Leeds United Foundation back to school soon.

We’d also like to say a massive well done to Kofi and Mohanad who have won a pair of tickets to an upcoming football match as a reward for their outstanding behaviour and engagement in the lesson!
