Celebrating 50 Years of Snaith Primary School
As part of our 50th anniversary celebrations, we are still keen to hear from anyone who attended the school in 1976.
If you know former pupils from that year, please encourage them to get in touch and share their memories and stories with us.
Staff Car Park Reminder
For the safety of all pupils and families:
The staff car park is for staff use only and should not be used for dropping off or collecting children, including for Breakfast Club or After School Club.
Between 8:40am and 9:00am, the lay-by is designated as a drop-off zone only. Please avoid parking there to help reduce congestion and keep traffic moving safely.
Thank you for your cooperation.

School Holidays
An Absence from School for Exceptional Circumstances Request Form, must be completed for all absences (not medical). https://www.snaithprimary.org.uk/page/?title=Attendance+%26amp%3B+Punctuality&pid=77
Please can I remind parents that school is not able to authorise any holidays during term time. Therefore, it is important to consult these dates before making any booking. Penalty Notice Fines are issued on a per parent per child basis for term time leave of 5 (10 sessions) or more consecutive days.
As school is in session during these times, if your child does not attend school due to an unauthorised absence, school will not provide work for this period of time as children are expected to attend school to undertake their learning.
Penalty Notice Fines are also considered, if a child has 10 sessions of unauthorised absence in 10 school weeks. If a child is collected mid-session for a term-time holiday, the whole session will be unauthorised.
We are committed to improving achievement through attendance, and any pupil whose attendance falls below 97% becomes a cause for concern. Attendance below 90% is classed by the Government as persistent absence. If a child’s attendance falls below 90% we refer all cases to the Education Welfare Office at East Riding Council, who is likely to contact parents directly to give support and discuss the matter.
(Parent, in relation to a child or young person, includes any person who is not a parent of the child but who has parental responsibility for the child, or who has care of them).
Headteacher: Mrs Helen Calpin
Chair of Governors: Mr Chris Emsen
