Attendance Well done to class 4 Green who achieved 97.9% attendance! The overall percentage for the whole school was 93.1% which is one of the lowest figures this term. Let’s try and get that percentage back up again!
Parking Please do not park or stop on the double yellow lines just outside of the car park as this obstructs other motorists and risks the lives of children.
Fronter At Cranbrook we are counting down to the launch of Fronter as the new year approaches. There will be lots of exciting ways for your child to share their ideas with their classmates and teacher, ranging from debates to voting for their favourite story. Look out for further information about Fronter next term! Samina and Priya.
Film viewing Please note as an end of term treat, some classes will be allowed to watch a DVD that may be PG. If you gave an objection to your child viewing this certification please can you let us know in advance in writing.
Medication If your child is taking medication that needs to be administered during the school day, please ensure that we have the medicine in school and that you have made arrangements to administer this.
Asthma Pumps Children who use an asthma pump must have 2 pumps in school at all times. Please ensure that you bring two pumps into school as soon as possible.
