Nursery Enjoys Special Storytime with Tim and Gwyll!

Nursery had a wonderful storytime today with our friends Tim and Gwyll! We chose a special story about a dog, and we hope Gwyll enjoyed it as much as we did! 🥰 #ShowYouCare"

 

✨🖋️ Spotlight Pupil 🖋️

This young man has truly amazed us with his outstanding progress in writing! He independently wrote this sentence about the farm, and it’s already at end-of-Reception level – and we’re only in February! We couldn’t be prouder of him, and as you can see in this picture, he’s just as proud of himself! A huge well done! 💜

REWARDS

Improving attendance is everyone’s business. The barriers to accessing education are wide and complex, both within and beyond the school gates, and are often specific to individual pupils and families. At Co-op Academy Hillside, we will do all we can to support your family and ensure our academy is safe, calm and a supportive environment for your child. Let’s celebrate everyone’s success together.

From all the staff at Hillside

How can I improve my children’s attendance? 

 

Follow NHS advice for any mild illnesses. 

Promote good hand hygiene with your children. 

Liaise with the Early Help team who will support you as a family. 

Speak to your child’s teacher as a collaborative approach is essential


 Noticeboard

If your child is absent from school, you must inform the school office by 9am of the reason for absence.

Staff car park is NOT to be used to drop children off at Breakfast Club. This is a health and safety hazard.
