Please Give Us Your Bottle Tops!
We’re on a mission, and we need your help! In a drive to make something positive out of plastic waste, and to improve the aesthetic of our garden areas, we are embarking on a project to build a mural out of plastic bottle tops. And we need lots (thousands in fact!) of all colours and sizes. So please (even if they are a bit annoying now they’re attached to the bottles!) chop them off and save your plastic bottle tops, and bring them to school when you have enough to share. We’d love for all children to feel they’ve contributed. Bottle tops from milk bottles and soft drink bottles are perfect- the more colours the better.
These children were awarded Hot Chocolate with the Head for excellent learning / behaviour this week! Well done to:

Evidence shows that the students with the highest attendance throughout their time in school gain the best GCSE and A Level results.
Here’s what the data shows:
- Pupils with higher attainment at KS2 and KS4 had lower levels of absence over the key stage compared to those with lower attainment.
- Pupils who did not achieve the expected standard in reading, writing and maths in 2019 had an overall absence rate of 4.7% over the key stage, compared with 3.5% among pupils who achieved the expected standard and 2.7% among those who achieved the higher standard.
- Pupils who did not achieve grade 9 to 4 in English and maths GCSEs in 2019 had an overall absence rate of 8.8% over the key stage, compared with 5.2% among pupils who achieved a grade 4 and 3.7% among pupils who achieved grade 9 to 5 in both English and maths.
- Generally, the higher the percentage of sessions missed across the key stage at KS2 and KS4, the lower the level of attainment at the end of the key stage.
- Among pupils with no missed sessions over KS2, 83.9% achieved the expected standard compared to 40.2% of pupils who were persistently absent.
- Among pupils with no missed sessions over KS4, 83.7% achieved grades 9 to 4 in English and maths compared to 35.6% of pupils who were persistently absent.
