Attendance is not optional - It is the difference between falling behind and moving ahead.
When students miss school, they do not just miss lessons - they miss learning. Even a few days off quickly add up, and the impact is real:
📉 Students with poor attendance are far more likely to drop a grade - or several at GCSE and Sixth Form.
📈 Students who attend regularly achieve higher results, stronger progress and leave with more choices for their future.
👨👩👧 Parents & Carers: Every absence matters. Strong attendance now protects your child’s long term success - their grades, their confidence and their future pathways.
🎒 Students: Your future is being built right now. Every lesson you attend moves you closer to your goals. Every lesson you miss puts obstacles in your way.
Show up. Stay focused. Protect your chances.
Excellent attendance is the expectation, not the exception.
Your grades. Your future. Your move.

Screens are now part of everyday family life, but for very young children, clear and predictable boundaries can help screen time feel calm rather than constant.
Our latest #WakeUpWednesday guide shares practical advice for families, nurseries and early years settings on supporting healthier digital habits for under-fives.
The guide covers:
• Choosing age-appropriate content
• Protecting bedtime routines
• Keeping devices in shared spaces
• Co-viewing and talking about what children see
• Using simple scripts and transition warnings
• Modelling balanced device use as adults
With supportive tips and realistic routines, this guide helps adults manage screen time with greater confidence.

🌟 Cooking Club Update - Week 2! 🌟
Today marked the start of Week 2 for the children from Gilbert Colvin, and what a fantastic session it was! 👩🍳👨🍳
This week is all about main courses, and the children created a beautiful Cottage Pie from scratch. They worked brilliantly together, developing their cooking skills, confidence and creativity in the kitchen. 🥔🥕🥩
We are so proud of their enthusiasm and effort as they continue their culinary journey.
🍰 Looking ahead: Next week is Dessert Week, and we can’t wait to see the delicious sweet treats the children will create!
