Attendance Really Matters....

Mrs Hill , the school's attendance manager, has worked hard on producing the following documents for parents and pupils with regards to our new colour banding system we are launching in September. Hopefully children, parents and staff will have a clearer picture on which pupils attendance are concerning us and we can work together as a whole school.

Leading Parent Partnership Award.

The work of Professor Charles Desforges tells us that at the age of seven parental influence on children’s learning is six times that of the school, and by the age of eleven it is still a third greater.

At Harpur Mount we just don't help children we strive to help Parents and carers as well, over the last year Mrs Dale and some of our staff have been provided enrichment courses for parents and carers on how they can help their children as well as set up opportunities for them to learn together.


The School is reaching the final steps for this reward on Friday 29th June, if you have been part of any of the courses please leave a comment below or contact Mrs Dale at school.
Many Thanks!

At last.........the Jubilee Celebration Pictures.

Before we broke up for half term the whole school enjoyed a Jubilee Celebration to remember. A party was held outside and parents were invited to a special concert of songs. There were numerous stalls, a bouncy castle, a DJ, even the Queen turned up and it did not rain !!!!
