Weekly Attendance 94%
Wow! What an amazing week we have had in school to end an amazing year!
Caribbean Steel Band
All children in school got the opportunity to play the Caribbean Steel Drums on Tuesday and they were amazing. It was a great start to the last week of term. Despite the rain while we sang and played ‘bring me sunshine’, there was no dampening of the holiday spirit. I know classes are posting photos of this fabulous day.
A Huge Thank you and Fond Farewell
Today we say a huge thank you to two wonderful members of staff who are retiring today.
Mrs Outhwaite has been part of our school since 2006. She has been such an amazing support to children and staff over the last 19 years, guiding all with her kind and humble manner as well as being the photocopier repair queen! She is a loss to our school.
Mrs Knight has been part of our school since 2007 and many of you will also know her for her support and dedication to before school club. Again, Mrs Knight has offered tremendous support to children and our school in her calm and quiet way. We will miss her greatly.
We wish them both a wonderful retirement and hope they will pop back to see us often.
Year 6
Today we bid farewell to our wonderful year 6 children. Children, it has been such a pleasure and privilege to have been part of your journey this far, sharing so many wonderful moments and memories with you, and seeing you grow into the amazing young people that you are. As you now step forwards into the next chapter of your stories we know that you will continue to ‘SHINE’ and our very best wishes go with you always.
So Many Thank You’s
At this time of the school year there are so many people I need to thank for making our school the most wonderful place to work and learn. To the staff what a fantastic year this has been. As always, their hard work, dedication and team work is exceptional.
We are also ably supported by a brilliant army of volunteers including our incredible governing body, the PTA and school helpers, who work so hard, most often behind the scenes, giving their time and adding the sparkle to our Shine.
A special shout out of grateful appreciation to Mrs Parkin-Schofield and Mrs Linton from the school PTA who are retiring from the committee this year. Thank you for your many hours of dedicated service supporting our school.
To the children, we thank you for all of your hard work and the wonderful times we have spent together. You really are, all stars!
We would like to thank all of our families for your continued support for our school and community, ever present and never more keenly shared and noticed during our recent OFSTED inspection. We wish you all a wonderful summertime and look forward to seeing you in the new school year.

School Holidays
Term Dates 2025-2026
https://www.snaithprimary.org.uk/attachments/download.asp?file=3038&type=pdf
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.
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).
