OFSTED
We would like to say a huge thank you for your support and feedback during our graded OFSTED visit this week. Of the 111 respondents to the parent survey, along with some amazing feedback, 100% said you would recommend our school. The OFSTED team and staff were blown away by your support. We also received many good wishes and emails of support. Thank you.
While we now have to wait for the report to be issued, I can tell you that the OFSTED team, who conducted the inspection with the upmost respect and professionalism, shared many compliments about the school and your children.
I would also like to express my huge gratitude to the team of staff, who, like everyday, worked tirelessly with such drive, determination and enthusiasm to ensure that our school is a wonderful place to learn and work.
As always, I feel incredibly proud and humbled to be part of this amazing community.
New Classes
We apologise for having to delay our ‘new class’ day and information this week. This will now take place on Wednesday.
Staff V Y6 Rounders.
I am delighted to share with you that the staff team beat the Y6 rounders team 8:7 today. (I am of course only posting this because we won!) Seriously, what a lovely lunchtime and well done for amazing sportsmanship all round. We look forward to the rematch – once we have recovered!
Important Online Safety Update
Please can I remind all parents to remain vigilant about what your children are posting and viewing online.
Please see the information below from Humberside Police.
Humberside Police would like to make you aware of the following WhatsApp group which young people have been accessing. There is great concern over "THESE GUYS ARE BAD" and "ALL THE BAD GUYS" WhatsApp groups that have been created by school children in the Humberside region. These groups have over 180 members and the users exchange racist, violent, and pornographic content between themselves. This has become a problem with local children of a primary school age accessing this content. A number of unknown Paedophiles are also using these groups to gain access to children.
Should anyone have any information about the group please contact Humberside Police on 101, Humberside Police website Report a crime | Humberside Police, or Anonymously via Independent UK charity taking crime information anonymously | Crimestoppers
I would also like to remind you of the following age restrictions

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).
