On Thursday last week some of our year 5 and 6 pupils took part in a Football festival and played matches with four other teams. They had a great time and represented the school superbly!

💛 EVERY DAY COUNTS AT WHITTLEFIELD

At Whittlefield Primary School, we want every child to have the best possible start in life, and regular school attendance is an important part of this. 🌟

Coming to school regularly helps children to:

📚 Keep up with their learning and make progress
😊 Build confidence and independence
👫 Develop and maintain friendships
🌈 Feel part of our school community

We know that children are sometimes unwell or have important appointments, and we will always work with families to support good attendance.

Our approach is positive, supportive, and focused on working together with families. 🤝

We don't expect 100% attendance to be possible for every child, but every day in school gives children valuable opportunities to learn, play, connect and grow.

💛 Every day really does count!

🌟 Year 2 became mini explorers! 🌟
What a fantastic day we had on our school trip! The children loved discovering all about fossils and had an amazing time seeing Stan the T. rex up close. 🦖🦴
Our Year 2 children were brilliant throughout the day — they listened carefully, showed great curiosity and represented our school wonderfully. We are so proud of how well behaved, enthusiastic and excited they were! ⭐
What a memorable day of exploring, discovering and learning! 🔎🌍

It was wonderful to welcome so many parents into school for our Phonics Café! It was a fantastic opportunity for parents to see phonics in action and find out more about how we teach reading in EYFS and KS1. The children loved showing their parents what they have been learning, and it was lovely to see everyone getting involved. Thank you to all the parents who joined us! 💛
