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 or otherwise to ensure continuity of learning.

Number of recordings of children late arriving at school
1.9% in November
Total percentage of attendance
November was 94.6%

For planned absences, please complete an absence request form, available from the school office or a copy is available to print off t the bottom of our website. If your child is ill or going to be absent from school, please telephone the office absence line before 9am and give the reason so that we can accurately record why absences occur. Thank you.

Thank you to everyone who donated money recently to buy poppies for remembrance day. We raised £393.41 at Pound Pill and £308.55 at Broadwood. The total amount collected over time by Corsham Primary is currently £27,637.22. Money will go to fund RBL's ongoing work in supporting the armed forces community serving and ex-serving personnel and their families.

Tag Rugby Tournament report from In2Sport

We had a great afternoon at tag rugby. We played 5 matches against local primaries, won 4 and lost just 1 game, so we came out as winners! The children were fantastic, worked hard, played fairly and worked brilliantly as a team, encouraging each other.

All children have gone home with a medal and the team also have a trophy and certificate to be presented in assemblies at both sites. We would like to thank our parent helper who was brilliant and very supportive.

Well done everyone!
