The weather this week has lifted all of our spirits and we're really hoping that the lovely sunshine is here to stay! Our final assembly of this term this morning was also a ray of sunshine for us all- we certainly have children who bring sunshine into our school every day!  Such wonderful comments were made about our golden certificate children and the whole school sang a wonderful rendition of 'Top of the World'. It really was a super way to end the week! Next term sees an action packed calendar at Crestwood Park. More details are below- it promises to be fun filled and very busy! I am also aware that parents are already beginning to think ahead to who might be teaching and supporting their children next year- rest assured we will be communicating with you early next term our staffing arrangements for September 2023!

We would like to say a very big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to...George, Grace and Ben who have celebrated their birthday this week or will be celebrating over the weekend.

& Happy Birthday to Oliver, Paisley, Grace, Arthur, Jackson, Rosie and Joshua who will be celebrating during Half Term!

Well done to Year 3 with an overall attendance of 97% this week!

Shannon - Year 5!

We are noticing an increase in lateness; at Crestwood Park we expect children to arrive at school between 8.40 and 8:50am.

By 8:50am all children should be in their classes. If children arrive between 8:55 and 9:10am they will be marked as 'L' on the register for authorised lateness.

If they arrive late after 9:10am, they will be marked as a ‘U’ for unauthorised late. Late children will also have to catch up and complete the morning registration task at the start of lunchtime.

If a child reaches 5 'Lates' during a school year, we will not authorise anymore and further lateness will be classed as unauthorised absence for a whole morning. At this point, parents will be contacted, in order to discuss actions/support needed to resolve lateness.

If you have any questions, please contact ajohnson1@crestwood-p.dudley.sch.uk.

I hope that all of our families are able to enjoy the week ahead and in usual style I'll leave you with a quote that echoes my hopes for you all over half term.....

And the smiles and love never be far away!"

We look forward to seeing all you back in school on Monday 5th June xxx
