Tough Runner
Wow Wow Wow – THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Following last weeks Tough Runner, we have received an amazing £5884.50 through the children’s sponsorship.
This is truly amazing and I look forward to sharing with you how we will be spending it to improve our outside provision. Every penny of the money raised will go towards this and the children will be consulted for their ideas and input too. As staff, we have already been visiting other sites to glean ideas.
A big thank you to the PTA for organising this. We hope to release a video of the event soon.
Staying Safe Online - Parent/Carer information session
Please find below the link to access the parent/carer session scheduled for next Wednesday 6th May 2026 (4pm – 4.45pm).

SPORT
Cricket
On Tuesday Years 3 & 4 represented the school at Carlton Towers cricket club. Every single player gave their all and showed a fantastic range of skills, from powerful, confident hitting to sharp fielding, quick reactions, and some absolutely brilliant catches that had the whole crowd cheering.
Both teams played with real determination, teamwork, and sportsmanship throughout. We are incredibly proud of them all.
A special well‑done to Snaith A, who went on to take the overall victory. A superb achievement and thoroughly deserved.

Pre-Loved Uniform
As we all know, our children quickly grow out of their uniform. A reminder, our PTA also has very good quality second-hand uniform for sale. Please contact them on snaithpta@hotmail
Please can I also remind you to label your child’s uniform, shoes and coats. We have many items around school without names!

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).
