School were successful with an AAP bid to create a wonderful space housing a  remembrance garden.

The money helped us purchase bespoke benches – they are carved with special messages written by Logan, the winning pupil chosen from a competition held in school

We invited Councillor Bruce, Mayor of Chilton and Mrs Potts (Chilton County Councillor at the time of the bid), Stuart (Junior Mayor) and Logan to the unveiling of the area.  A small ceremony paying tribute to the fallen was observed.

Throughout the year the children can use the garden as a quiet area to spend time reading and reflecting.

The Remembrance Garden acts as a focal point for the school during the annual period of remembrance.  The children and staff are encouraged to visit the garden and spend time decorating the garden with poppies marking the lives lost in the line of duty over the years.

Come along as a family and enjoy some FREE organised games and activities – outside if the weather is good – inside if not so good!!

The government sets an expected attendance target of 96% for schools in England.

We want your son/daughter to benefit from every minute they spend in school and will be rewarding pupils who achieve this target and who arrive in school punctually every day.

How to help improve your child’s attendance:

• Avoid routine appointments during school time.
• Make sure your child has everything they need for school the night before.
• Regular bed times and wake up times on school days.
• Ensure your child arrives at school on time.

If you are struggling with any aspects of attendance then either talk to the class teacher or Mr Roberts, School Attendance officer (m.roberts@chilton.durham.sch.uk)
