Heathfield Primary School - Welcome to Heathfield Primary School

Spotlight

Dear Parent,

Prince Albert Community Trust are working in partnership with parents to improve school attendance. We would like to congratulate the many parents who make sure their children attend school regularly.

Our aim is to give your children the best start possible in life and therefore, regular school attendance is necessary for us to provide this.

As you may be aware, it is a legal requirement for all children of compulsory school age to attend school on a regular basis. Research has shown that children’s academic and social progress may be affected if children do not attend school regularly.

Attached is a letter produced by the local authority outlining the Spotlight and Leave in Term Time Campaigns that we are adopting at Heathfield Primary School starting 26th September 2016. Please take time to read this very important information so you are up to date with our new attendance and leave in term time procedures.

We look forward to working with you to improve your children’s futures.

Yours sincerely,

Ms S. Amir-Baz

Head Teacher

For this half term the child safety team are working with parents and children on the topic PREVENT. Prevent is a national strategy to reduce the risk of radicalisation and exposure of extremist activity to our children.

We will be sending out information following on from this letter with details of a parent workshop on Prevent and what parents can do to help their children stay safe. The team will also be sharing advice and tips for parents and guardians on the school websites.

Yours sincerely

Trust Pastoral Leader

Coffee Morning

On Friday 30th September we are hosting Coffee Mornings at all of our schools in the academy.

Coffee mornings will be held at Prince Albert, Heathfield and Highfield school from 9am to 10:15am.

Please speak to a member of the Pastoral team for more details.
