PE Kits
It has once again been brought to my attention that a number of children are still not bringing their PE kits into school. May I remind parents that PE is part of the national curriculum and every child must take part. Kits should be brought into school each Monday morning and taken home each Friday for washing. Parents whose children do not have their kit in school will be contacted and asked to bring this to school.
Photograph Orders
A reminder that all orders for school photographs must be returned to school by this Friday 18th November, to enable these to be returned in time for Christmas.
ATTENDANCE
Below are the Attendance figures for last week .
Reception 89.8%
Year 1 98.6%
Year 2 97.3%

Year 4 93.3%
Year 5 98.1%
Year 6 96.7%
The overall school attendance was 95.7%. Please help us to maintain and exceed this figure. Well done to our Year 1 class who had the highest attendance, and have earned an extra playtime.

St. Mark’s Book of Remembrance
If you have lost a loved one, friend or family, we invite parents to come into school and make an entry in our Book of Remembrance. Our book is situated outside the school office, and will remain open until the end of the month. As long as those we have loved are remembered. As long as we hold their memory close to our hearts. They are still with us.
