Dear Parents and Carers,
Welcome back to Wigmore Primary School! We hope everyone had a restful and enjoyable summer break and is looking forward to the exciting year ahead.
It has been fantastic seeing the children back in school today. They have settled into their classrooms brilliantly, diving straight into their learning, and enjoying quality time socialising with friends on the playground and in the dining room.
You may have noticed that the generous donations made last year have already been put to work! The new additions on our playgrounds are already being set up, and we know they are going to bring so much joy and benefit to all the children across the school.
Building Great Habits: Attendance & Punctuality
As we kick off this new academic year, we want to focus on starting positively by establishing consistent routines right away. Good attendance and punctuality ensure that all children arrive on time and are in school every single day, giving them the best possible start to their learning. We will be sending further detailed information to parents and carers regarding attendance and punctuality in the near future.
