Well done to you all!
Staffing Update I am thrilled to announce that following a rigorous interview process involving input from governors, school councillors and staff, we have appointed a second deputy headteacher, Stavroulla Stavrinou and an additional assistant headteacher, Joseph Wilson. Stav will joining the staff team in April and Joseph in June. Both have wide ranging, valuable experience to bring to Cranbrook. Watch out for updates in future newsletters!
Unauthorised Absence I would remind parents that if your child has 12 sessions of unauthorised absence recorded throughout the academic year, the Local Authority will issue you with a penalty notice. The notice incurs a fine of £120 which is reduced to £60 if it is paid within 21 days. Penalty notices may be considered in the first instance for leave of absence taken without permission of the Headteacher which will result in £120 fine per parent, per child (reducing to £60 per parent, per child if paid within 21 days).
Punctuality Please make every effort to ensure that you arrive in school by 9am at the latest, so that children are marked present and enter their class before the register closes.

Cranbrook Friends Association (CFA) meeting There will be a CFA meeting at school in the small hall at 9am on Friday 24th January, instead of the previously published 2pm. This time change has been made in response to parental requests. All parents/carers are welcome to attend.
Colour Assemblies Please make every effort to attend your child’s assembly which take place every Thursday. The times are as follows:
9.10am-9.35am - Red classes (Hall) Yellow classes (Dance studio)
2.40-3.05pm - Blue & Rainbow classes (Hall) Green classes (Dance studio)
