Attendance The whole school a+endance for WE 17/06/16 was 97.92%. This means that this week’s a+endance was above our target of 96.5%. Well done. Thank you for your conFnued support. This week the a+endance league table is as follows: 1st Mrs Hayman’s and Mrs Heginbotham’s class (Green) with 99.67% 2nd Miss Dunn’s class (Lilac) with 99.39% 3rd Mrs Snape’s class (Blue) with 99.33% Each school day is 6 hrs. This week 12.33 hours of educaFon were lost due to appointments and 3.5 hours due to lateness. We need your help to conFnue to reduce these figures. You can help by making sure all rouFne opFcians and dental appointments are made outside of school hours or in the school holidays and that your child a+ends school on Fme every day. If an appointment is unavoidable (e.g. hospital appointments) please ensure your child a+ends school before and aWer it every minute of every day counts! Thank you. Tillie (5) and Freddie (3) will be running the 5k Colour Run to raise money for their chosen chariFes. Please help us raise as much money as possible. They have picked their own chariFes for their own special reasons and these can be found on their ‘Just Giving’ pages. The link for their pages can be found below or by copying the link into your browser. We also have sponsor forms if anyone would rather pay cash. Thanks! www.justgiving.com/TillieBenne+2 www.justgiving.com/FreddieBenne+ Newsletter 22 nd June 2016 Growing Together to Flourish in God’s World Please check that ALL personal items including school uniform brought into school have your child’s name in them. We are only able to reunite items with their owner if they are named. Thank you. Fire registers Please ensure that all children are here at 8.55am, ready to enter school on Fme each morning. Doors will close at 9am promptly. Late a+endance not only disrupts the start of the morning session but can also be quite distressing to a child that has to enter class or an assembly late. If your child is late please bring him/her to the school office so they can be recorded on the fire register. This is a safeguarding measure to ensure all children are accounted for in the event of an emergency. Thank you. Spor&ng Fun This Friday we are holding our Sports Day. Children can come into school in their sports wear/outdoor PE kits. Again, parents and carers are welcome to come and watch. KS1 (Nursery Yr 2) from 9.30am to11am, KS2 (yr3Yr6) from 1.30pm to 3pm. All on the school field. On Monday 27 th June we will be holding our own Euro tournament. Please send your child into school in football kits/outdoor PE kits. Children do not need to wear school inform on these days. Moving up day On the 30 th June we will be holding our Moving Up day. This is when your child will find out which class they are in next year and get the opportunity to know their next teacher. This is an important transiAonal Ame for our children and always lots of fun. School holidays We have had a few queries in regards to our holiday dates. Some of our parents have been looking on various different websites and so therefore have the wrong holiday dates for St Anne’s. Please only use our website h+p://www.stannesroyton.oldham.sch.uk/ or informa&on provided directly from school (such as the back of each newsleZer, or lists that are sent by Parentmail) for our holiday dates. If you would like a full list of the holidays please see the office.

Tillie  (5)  and  Freddie  (3)  will  be  running  the  5k  Colour  Run  to  raise  money  for  their  chosen  chariFes.  Please  help  us  raise  as  much  money  as  possible.  They  have  picked  their  own  chariFes  for  their  own  special  reasons  and  these  can  be  found  on  their  ‘Just  Giving’  pages.  The  link  for  their  pages  can  be  found  below  or  by  copying  the  link  into  your  browser.  We  also  have  sponsor  forms  if  anyone  would  rather  pay  cash.  Thanks!  www.justgiving.com/TillieBenne+2  www.justgiving.com/FreddieBenne+  

Repor&ng  Absences    Please  be  aware  that  if  your  child  is  absent  from  school  ,and  you  do  not  contact  us  to  report  the  absence  ,  it  will  be  recorded  as  an  unauthorised.    Unauthorised  absences  can  be  picked  up  by  the  a+endance  service  .  This  could  result  in  you  receiving  a  Fixed  Penalty  NoFce  and    possibly  a  visit  from  the  School  A+endance  Officer.    You  may  be  required  to  supply  medical  evidence  for  your  child's  absence  and  this  could  be    a  printed  prescripFon  label  or  medical  appointment  proof  to  support  your  child's  absence.  Contact  needs  to  be  made  on  each  day  of  absence  before  9am.  

Medica&on–  With  your  authorisaFon  we  can  administer  medicaFon  to  help  your  child  complete  their  medicaFon  course  or  if  they  have  minor  aliments  such  as  coughs  /  colds  /  headache  to  help  them  through  a  school  day  .    Please  see  the  office  if  you  would  like  to  discuss    administering  medicaFon  on  your  behalf.  Please  ensure  ALL  medicaFon  is  brought  to  the  office.  Thank  you.  

To  help  us  keep  our  school  head  lice  free  please  ensure  that  you  check  your  child’s  hair  each  week.    Thank  you.  

Have  you  recently  changes  your  mobile  contract?  Changed  jobs?  Changed  home  

telephone  provider?  Moved?  Please  ensure  you  have  updated  the  school  with  any  

changes  to  your  contact  details.  Thank  you.  

Please  remember  that  non  emergency  den&st  appointments,  op&cians  appointments,  doctor  appointments  etc.  should  be  made  out  of  school  &me.    Every  minute  of  every  day  counts  

Please  remember  if  your  child  is  absent  from  school  you  must  to  ring  school  (0161  624  9885)  each  day  

before  9:30am  with  details  of  why  your  child  is  absent  from  school.  A  note  can  be  passed  through  the  class  teacher  (for  passing  to  the  office  through  the  register)  but  please  do  not  leave  verbal  messages  with  teachers.  If  we  do  not  hear  from  you  via  the  absence  line  or  a  

le+er  the  absence  will  be  recorded  as  an  unauthorised  absence  which  could  lead  to  a  fixed  penalty  noFce  fine.  

Term  &me  absences  A  pupil’s  absence  during  term  Fme  can  seriously  disrupt  their  conFnuity  of  learning.  Not  only  do  they  miss  the  teaching  provided  on  the  days  they  are  away,  they  are  also  less  prepared  for  subsequent  lessons  on  their  return.  There  is  a  consequent  risk  of  underachievement.    

We  ask  that  all  Parents/Carers  make  all  rouFne  appointments  (denFst,  opFcians  etc.)  outside  of  school  Fme  or  in  school  holidays  –  non  emergency  appointments  will  be  recorded  as  unauthorised  absence.    Any  other  medical  appointments  (specialist  appointments,  hospital  appointments,  emergency  GP  appointments  etc.)  if  medical  evidence  (appointment  le+er)  is  submi+ed  will  be  recorded  as  an  M  –  Medical  appointment  on  your  child’s  a+endance  record  and  does  unfortunately  adversely  affect  your  child’s  a+endance  figure  .  

Parents  /  carers  do  not  have  a  right  to  take  their  child  out  of  school  during  term  Fme.  As  a  result    family  holidays  should  be  planned  during  the  school  holidays.  As  of  September  2013  the  School    Governors  agreed  that,  in  line  with  new  law,  no  leave  taken  in  term  Fme  would  be  authorised    unless  for  a  medical  reason  for  the  individual  child  (i.e.  an  operaFon)    where  medical  evidence    must  be  provided.  In  accordance  with  the  Local  Authority  A+endance  Policy,  school  will  class  any  absences  that    meet  the  criteria  as  unauthorised  absences  and  will  refer  for  a  Fixed  Penalty  NoFce  fine.    If  your  child  will  be  absent  for  any  reason  that  you  know  of  in  advance  please  put  it  in  wri&ng  to  the  Governors  -­‐    you  will  then  be  contacted  with  the  decision  as  to  whether  the  absence  will  be  recorded  as  authorised  or  unauthorised.

Secondary Application Online

Calling all Year 6 Parents and Carers your will be going to secondary school in September 2016, if you haven't done so already you will need to complete a Local Authority application online before the 31st October 2015. www.oldham.gov.uk/info/200327/admissions/1137/apply_for_a_secondary_school_place

You  will  receive  an  email  before  12  noon  on  1  March  2016  to  advise  you  of  the  school  that  your  child  has  been  allocated  a  place  at.  

Please  take  a  look  at  our  website  h+p://www.stannesroyton.oldham.sch.uk/  .  It  includes  all  our  statutory  informaFon;  including  curriculum  info  and  topics.  You  can  also  find  newsle+ers,  useful  forms,  informaFon  

about  St  Anne’s  Care  club,  our  church  and  we  even  have  a  Twi+er  feed.    

If  your  child  is  late  into  school  please  ensure  that  you  enter  school  through  the  main  recepFon  door  of  the  Junior  building.  This  is  to  ensure  your  child  has  been  put  on  the  fire  register  and  all  children  are  accounted  for  in  the  event  of  an  evacuaFon.  Thank  you.  

Please  ensure  that  all  children  are  waiFng  ready  to  enter  school  on  Fme  each  morning.  Late  a+endance  not  only  disrupts  the  start  of  the  morning  session  but  also  causes  unnecessary  upset  

to  children  that  have  to  enter  class  late.  Many  thanks.  

     If  a  child  is    persistently  late,  this  can  create  gaps  in  their  educaFon  and  prevent        them  from  reaching  their  full  learning  potenFal.    It  can  also  disrupt  the          classroom  when  lessons  have  already  begun  and  cause  unnecessary  distress  to        the  child  that  is  late.  Therefore,  not  only  must  a  child  a+end  school  regularly,  but        they  must  not  be  late.  If  your  child  arrives  at  school  on  at  least  10  occasions  aWer        the  registraFon  period  and  is  recorded  as  late  aWer  registraFon,  you  may  incur  a        Fixed  Penalty  NoFce  (fine).    

With  regard  to  absence,  96.5%  is  the  expected  level  of  a+endance  that  St  Anne’s  pupils  should  aim  for.  Persistent  gaps  in  your  child’s  educaFon  can  have  a  serious  impact  on  their  educaFonal  a+ainment.  It  is  a  parent’s  legal  responsibility  to  ensure  the  regular,  full-­‐Fme  a+endance  of  their  children.  Failing  to  do  this  could  lead  to  legal  proceedings  from  the  LA  and  a  Penalty  NoFce  (fine)  being  issued.    Parents  do  not  have  the  legal  right  to  take  their  child  out  of  school  on  holiday  during  term  Fme.  Term-­‐Fme  holidays  are  no  longer  authorised  and  you  will  be  issued  a  Penalty  NoFce  by  the  EducaFon  A+endance  Service  and  your  child  could  lose  their  school  place.    RouFne  medical  appointments  such  as  rouFne  opFcians  check  up,  denFst  check  ups  etc.  should  not  be  taken  during  school  Fme.  Try  to  arrange  such  appointments  in  school  holidays,  or  aWer  school.

Fire  registers  Please  ensure  that  all  children  are  here  at  8.55am,    ready  to  enter  school  on  Fme  each  morning.      Doors  will  close  at  9am  promptly.  Late  a+endance  not  only  disrupts  the  start  of  the  morning  session  but  can  also  be  quite  distressing    to  a  child  that  has  to  enter  class  or  an  assembly  late.    If  your  child  is  late  please  bring  him/her  to  the  school  office  so  they  can  be  recorded  on  the  fire  register.  This  is  a  safeguarding  measure  to  ensure  all  children  are  accounted  for  in  the  event  of  an  emergency.  Thank  you.

School  holidays  We  have  had  a  few  queries  in  regards    to  our  holiday  dates.  Some  of  our    parents  have  been  looking  on  various  different  websites  and  so  therefore  have  the  wrong  holiday  dates  for  St  Anne’s.    Please  only  use  our  website  h+p://www.stannesroyton.oldham.sch.uk/  or  informa&on  provided  directly  from  school  (such  as  the  back  of  each  newsleZer,  or  lists  that  are  sent  by  Parentmail)  for  our  holiday  dates.  If  you  would  like  a  full    list  of  the  holidays  please  see  the  office.
