Summer News
Friday 6th May
Ensuring that the children have a love of reading is one of our absolute passions at Fairfield. The ability to read just unlocks a whole world. So staff were working hard yesterday receiving training on our new phonics scheme that we will be using fully from September.
It is called Super Sonic Phonic Friends. Supersonic Phonic Friends Have a look at their website to see what it is all about! EYFS have already trialled it and the children are loving it!
Young Leaders
Our Young Leaders did a super piece of work together to promote recycling at school before Easter. The posters promoting it are now displayed around school and the amount of recycling at lunchtimes has increased. Their next initiative is to focus on Healthy Eating, especially packed lunches. They will be doing some research into the content of the packed lunches that are being brought to school and comparing them to nutritional values within school meals. Watch this space for updates!

Attendance Update
Please look on our website at Our Attendance Policy which has been reviewed. We are aware that it has been a very disrupted couple of years for the children and that we now want them all in school every day. The national aim for attendance is a minimum of 96%. We are currently as a school sitting at 94.1%. Let’s strive to get above 96%. I will share each week the class totals and see who the attendance champions are! Well done to the classes above 96%.
