Unfortunately once again the attendance and punctuality have been very poor. Each class in KS1 had ‘lates’ and no class achieved 100% attendance. Bearamy will be spending the week with Mr Smith’s class who had 99.48% attendance and no ‘lates’. Well done. A very disappointing week again for KS1. Unfortunately a few children have let their class down this week as they have arrived late for school. Well done to all the children who arrived at school on time each day.
