Welcome back to school after the Christmas holiday; we hope that everybody enjoyed a lovely break. 

We would like to thank all our fabulous parents and carers who gave Christmas cards and gifts to staff at the end of term.

The hard-working PTA arranged discos and a wonderful colourful hamper raffle prior to Christmas; we would like to thank them so much for their ongoing dedication and enthusiasm, which is greatly appreciated by us all.

Governor Awards - presented at the end of last term

Emily L was awarded with the CPS Governors award. She is a really kind and caring friend and learning partner. Emily L is always focused on her learning and independently deepens her understanding across each of the curriculum areas by asking thoughtful questions and trying her very best. She is Corsham Primary School through and through. Well done Emily!

Huge congratulations to Leon O-D who was awarded the Governors Sports Award. He is a keen athlete who consistently applies himself in all our athletics sessions. More than that, he always tries hard to improve his own skills whilst helping others to learn and improve through including and guiding them. We look forward to hearing about more of your future sporting successes Leon!

Massive congratulations to Paige T who was awarded the CPS Spirit Award. She embodies what it means to be a member of CPS; always showing care and consideration for others, bringing a positive attitude to all situations and having a wonderful attitude towards and love of learning. Furthermore, she shares her exceptional manners with others, makes a fabulous learning partner and always tries her absolute best to succeed, all while continuing to develop into a well-rounded, morally sound young person. Well done Paige – we’re all very proud of you!

Buddy J was awarded the Governor's award for Good Manners.  He consistently shows that he truly understands what constitutes all-round ‘good manners’ and is a wonderful role model for everyone in school.  Not only does he use ‘Please’ and ‘Thank you’, he is always showing respect to others by listening when they are talking, being a good learning partner, waiting patiently when he needs something and allowing others to go before him.  Buddy is also a very kind friend and will ensure that others in the class are looked after and have a group to go work with.  Well done Buddy, you are a very well-deserved recipient of this amazing award, and we are tremendously proud of you!

Attendance

Corsham Primary School supports the principles, practice and procedures outlined in the recently updated DfE School Attendance document. We believe pupils can only take full advantage of their education by regular and punctual attendance at school to ensure continuity of learning.

December attendance across both sites was 95%

Unauthorised absences across both sites was 2%

Number of late arrivals across both sites was 2%

If you need to report your child's absence, please telephone and leave a message on the office answerphone giving the reason for absence.  This is important for our daily registers which must reflect accurately, why a child is not in school.  Also, if your child will not be attending school due to a planned event, please request a Leave of Absence form from the school office or find one at the bottom of our home page on the website.
