Autumn Term Update – Corsham Primary School

As we progress through the autumn term at Corsham Primary, the seasonal changes are becoming increasingly evident. The cooler weather and vibrant transformation of the trees have provided a beautiful backdrop for our outdoor learning. Our Forest School practitioner has been thoughtfully planning a variety of engaging activities for pupils to enjoy during their Forest School sessions. Please consult the school calendar for scheduled dates.

We are also pleased to inform you that all upcoming year group assembly dates have now been added to the website calendar. We warmly encourage parents and carers to attend their child’s class assembly to gain an insight into their learning journey. Assemblies commence promptly at 9:15am and conclude at approximately 10:00am, including a visit to the classroom.

We are delighted to report that our new Foundation Stage pupils have settled exceptionally well into their respective classes. They are enjoying full school days and have begun forming positive relationships with their peers.

Attendance

Corsham Primary School supports the principles, practice and procedures outlined in the recently updated 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.

September attendance across both sites was 95.5%

Unauthorised absences across both sites was 1.1%

Number of late arrivals across both sites was 0.76%

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 one at the bottom of our home page on the website.
