Welcome Back

Welcome back to Wilton

It is great to see everyone back after a long and eventful Summer with lots of stories of what they did. It was so warming to see all the smiling faces coming back ready for another year working hard, earning rewards and admiration of their teachers.

This week has mostly been about getting back into the routine, with some having big changes starting with new class teachers.

You may have also noticed we are now signed up to Class Dojo, a new way for us to communicate so you can see how your child is getting on in their class, around school in general but also see about upcoming events in school.

Finally, a reminder about the importance of attendance and, in particular, punctuality – We want everyone to have the very best chance of success at school, so we aim for everyone to have over 96% attendance. School starts at 8.40 a.m. every day. Children need to be in their class line by 8.45 a.m. so that they can start their lessons promptly. The gate closes at 8.50am. 

Parking Around the School

Please could we remind you that parking outside of the school on Pasture Lane is not permitted. On the school side, this is clearly marked out as a no parking zone. This applies on a morning, home time and throughout the day.  Parking on the other side blocks the road and it makes it difficult for cars to pass and makes it unsafe for children. If you need to drive to school, please park on the High Street,  the Grange Estate or further round Pasture Lane to ensure the road and paths around the school grounds are clear and safe for adults and children. 

Attendance

Attendance every day is vital for your child’s progress unless they are too unwell to learn. It is your responsibility to inform the academy if your child is going to be absent by 8.45am each day of their absence.

You can contact the office on 01642 453374.

School Uniform and PE days

Please make sure that all items of clothing, including coats and packed lunch bags are clearly labelled with children’s names, so it is easy to find their owners.

All children have been provided with a t-shirt and shorts in a bag for PE lessons but they need to have their own trainers/plimsols in school please. Plimsols will be provided if needed. As the weather is changing, you may want to send in a tracksuit for children to wear outside during PE lessons.
