🍂🎃 Hello October! 🎃🍂
A new month means a new opportunity to shine! We are encouraging all our pupils to keep up their fantastic attendance and make the most of every learning opportunity this October.
At Francis Askew Primary School, we know that every day in school matters. Excellent attendance helps children build confidence, develop friendships, and achieve their very best. Thank you to our families for the incredible support you continue to give in ensuring children arrive at school every day, on time, and ready to learn.
👻 No tricks, just terrific attendance treats! 👻
Children who attend school every day throughout October will be entered into our Hello October Attendance Prize Draw, with the chance to win a £20 Love2Shop voucher!
🍁 Every day counts. 📚 Every lesson matters. ⭐ Every child deserves the best start.

💙 KEEP THEM COMING TO SCHOOL! 💙
Is your child feeling a little under the weather? 🤧 In many cases, they can still come to school — and we’re here to help!
We can support with prescribed medication, hydration and extra care when needed. 💧
There are, of course, times when children do need to stay at home, so please take a look at our handy guide below. 👇
