Diamond Wood Community Academy

BREAKING NEWS!

Dear Parents and Carers,

I hope you’re well! As we near the end of this half term, I’m excited to announce our Attendance Challenge. Over the next two weeks, we’re aiming to hit at least 97% attendance before the half term break - ideally both weeks! We are worried that it has been a while since we reached this goal, so let’s work together to make it happen.

Rewards for Pupils:

Non-Uniform Day: On Thursday, 24th October, if we reach the target, all pupils can enjoy a day out of uniform.
Class Disco: That afternoon, we’ll celebrate with a fun disco in every class!

Thank You for Parents and Carers:

If we hit the goal, we’ll also be giving out a special ‘Thank-You Treat’ for yourselves at the school gates on this day.

We need at the very least 97% attendance during the next two weeks to unlock these rewards. I’m confident we can achieve this with your support! Thank you in advance for your help in making these last two weeks a success!

We can do this! Remember...TEAM WORK MAKES OUR DIAMOND WOOD DREAM WORK!

This underpins our vision at Diamond Wood Community Academy that all children develop a love of learning in a safe and nurturing environment, where inclusion and community are at the heart.

Attendance week commencing 7 October

2024:

93.26%

We need our attendance to be at least 97%.

Please bring your child to school EVERYDAY!

Please try and book all appointments (e.g. medical, dental etc) outside of school hours. If you have an unavoidable appointment during the school day you will be required to bring proof of the appointment, such as an appointment card or letter. Children will not be permitted to leave without written proof of an appointment.

Our School

On behalf of the children, staff and Governors, I would like to welcome you to the Diamond Wood Community Academy website. We are a school which believes in the value of every child and adult who enters our doors.

We are very proud of our school. Diamond Wood is a friendly, caring environment, where work and play go hand-in-hand. We offer a strong sense of community, with close ties with parents and carers. We recognise the crucial importance of a three-way partnership between school, children, and parents/carers, and endeavour to build positive relationships to ensure that all of our children reach their full potential. A successful partnership depends on close co-operation, support and trust, between home and school, and recognition that we have a shared responsibility.

We ensure that our children are educated within a caring, happy, warm and welcoming environment, with a rich and challenging curriculum, in a stimulating environment.

With our dedicated staff, we strive to achieve the very best for every child. This is so they can build a firm foundation of skills, whilst further developing their lively enquiring minds, leaving them equipped for the world in which we live.

If you have any queries please contact our Rachael Hughes in the first instance, Tel: 01924 325308. You will then be directed accordingly.

We hope you will enjoy your journey with us at Diamond Wood Community Academy.

Mrs S Titherington

Head Teacher
