Dear Parents and Carers
Let’s hope that this wonderful weather continues for our two week break for Easter! Please don’t forget that school
closes tomorrow at 1:30p.m! Here’s the latest news from Eagleswell…
DINNER MONEY
Please note as from 13th April the price of a school meal will be increased to £2.10 per day.
SUPERSTARS!
Superstars will be running their FUN MULTI-SPORTS HOLIDAY COURSES during half term at Eagleswell
Primary from 30th March to 2nd April (inclusive). For further information please see www.super-stars.org.uk
YEAR 6: LLANGRANNOG TRIP
Mrs. Crowther and Mrs. Hougham have congratulated our Year 6 for managing to have a great time as well as
behaving superbly during their residential trip to Llangrannog! Well done everyone for being excellent
representatives of the school, and I hope you all helped with the muddy washing when you arrived home!
ATTENDANCE UPDATE: “Every lesson counts, every school day counts!”
Thank you to everyone for supporting the school with improving our attendance. Good teamwork has ensured our
attendance rate is continuing to increase and is now 94.5%. Please note that if your child’s attendance has
continued to decrease to 90 % or below then you will be receiving a letter shortly explaining the need for medical
evidence for future absences to be authorised (as recommended by the school’s Callio Officer).
