Welcome to Term 1 everyone! We are enjoying meeting all our new children and settling them in to their new classes this week. It is lovely to see everybody back at school, bright, rested and ready for learning.

We also welcome our new teacher, Mr Breese, and congratulations to Miss Gardner, who got married over the summer and has returned to Broadwood as Mrs Lewis!

There are lots of exciting plans for the children this term, and we look forward to working with our parents and carers in this new academic year as we forge ahead. Do keep an eye out on our communication page on the website for copies of any letters sent home etc.

Remember, we have an open-door policy at Corsham Primary, so if you have any concerns or questions, please don't hesitate to talk to your child's class teacher or a member of the leadership team so that we can help you.

Summer Reading Challenge 2024

Well done to all the children who took part in the library's Summer Reading Challenge and our own 'Ivern's Book a Day Challenge' over the holidays.

We have heard that a record number of children have taken part this summer, which is fantastic news.

Remember to bring your reading challenges into school to share and celebrate with us. We always love to hear about your reading.

In other reading news, the Corsham Library have been at the Springfield Community Campus for 10 years! They will be celebrating with a programme of family-friendly events throughout September - please see details below.

Happy Reading

Playground Crazes of the Month

Reading books, comics/magazines, teddies, squish mallows, playing cards, sticker books and stretchy toys.

Attendance

Corsham Primary School supports the principles, practice and procedures outlined in the DfE school attendance document. We believe pupils can only take full advantage of their education by regular and punctual attendance at school to ensure continuity of learning.

If you need to report your child's absence, please telephone and leave a message on the office answerphone giving the reason for absence. This is important for our daily registers which must reflect accurately, why a child is not in school. Also, if your child will not be attending school due to a planned event, please request a Leave of Absence form from the school office or find on of these also at the bottom of the home page on our website.
