• Important changes to School Meals Online Payments

  Fri 23 Jun 2023

  Dear Parent/Carer

  Important changes to School Meals Online Payments

  The Local Authority has informed us that the online payment provider for school meals and trips is changing from September.  We will no longer be using sQuid, and the new provider will be CRB Cunningham’s.  

  We advise that you run the balances down before the end of term, as school meal accounts will start from a ‘fresh’ £0.00 balance in September.

  Next steps:

  1. Use up balance: Please ensure any remaining balance on sQuid is used up before the end term.  If you are still in credit on your sQuid account at the end of term, then you will need to request a refund from sQuid directly. Link to the sQuid webpage available here: Contact :: sQuid (squidcard.com)
  2.  Parent account registration:  Onboarding information will be provided to parents in the first few days of the school term, to allow you to set up the account and load funds.  Please be assured that all pupils will be able to order a meal in the first few days until the account has been activated and these meals can be paid for once you have activated and loaded funds.

  Our children have been talking about the devastation of the earthquake in Turkey and Syria and would like to do something to help them. Therefore, tomorrow will be a NON UNIFORM day and we ask that everyone makes a donation on this link. All staff will too. However small, all donations will help immensely. Thank you. 🙏🏻

• Attendance

  Fri 27 Jan 2023

  Please can we remind you that absences need to be reported on the school absence mail box by 9.30am on the 1st and 3rd day of absence from school. A reason for absence must be provided.

   

  We understand that pupil sickness can not be avoided but would like to highlight the following data. 

   

   

  95-100% attendance	Best chance of success	Your child is taking full advantage of every learning opportunity.
  90-95% attendance	At least 2 weeks of learning missed	Satisfactory.  Your child may have to spend time catching up with work.
  85-90% attendance	At least 4 weeks of learning missed	Your child may be at risk of underachieving and may need extra support from you to catch up with work.
  80-85% attendance	At least 5 ½  weeks of learning missed	Your child’s poor attendance has a significant impact on learning.
  Below 80% attendance	At least 7½ weeks of learning missed	Your child is missing out on a broad and balanced education. You are at risk of prosecution.
