This February, our school has been focusing on punctuality. We’re pleased to see that late arrivals have decreased—thank you to students and families for the effort so far. That said, we still have some way to go. Arriving on time is important as it helps students settle into the day, avoid missing key instructions, and develop positive habits that support learning and future success. Let’s keep working together to make punctuality the norm and ensure every student starts the day ready to learn.

Dear Parents and Carers, As we move into February, our whole-school attendance focus is punctuality. Since Monday, we have already recorded 79 pupils arriving late to school. Arriving on time is essential for helping children settle into the day, access learning from the start of lessons, and develop good routines for the future. We understand that, on occasion, lateness can be unavoidable due to circumstances beyond your control, and we appreciate your support when this happens. However, we ask that punctuality is prioritised wherever possible and that pupils arrive at school on time each day. Thank you for your continued support in helping us promote strong attendance habits for all our pupils.

We are pleased to announce that Home Farm Primary School Nursery will be offering a limited number of 15-hour and 30-hour nursery places for September 2026. Spaces for September 2026 are limited and expected to fill quickly, so we encourage families to register their interest as early as possible. If you would like more information or wish to arrange a visit to see our nursery, please contact the school office. Thank you

Morning everyone, Remember it's Number Day this Friday! Don't forget to get your child dressed in something number-tastic and bring along a £1 donation to support the NSPCC. I can’t wait to see the rainbow of numbers! We’re all excited to see the brilliant and wacky number costumes everyone will wear! 🔢🎉 A huge thank you for supporting this important cause. I know there are lots of fun activities taking place in classes and I can’t wait to see all the fun get started!

Good afternoon everyone, It is that time of the year again! As we’re getting closer to Number Day, now is a great time to get inspired, plan your outfits, and spread the word. Your child’s class teacher will be in touch soon with details on how they will celebrate this occasion. In the meantime, we thought we’d give you a quick heads up to allow you ample time to prepare for this event. To join in on this event, we are asking the children to wear something with a number on it and contribute a £1 donation. This could be a beloved football shirt, a cap, or even a fun onesie. For those feeling adventurous, why not craft a one-of-a-kind t-shirt, hat, or transform into a giant number block, calculator or dice? Please remember this is optional and children can choose to wear their own clothes if they wish. The NSPCC needs our support more than ever. By raising money, we can help to fund their vital services such as Child line – the helpline that is always there for children and young people whatever their problems or concerns. Please donate generously and help us make a difference. We look forward to seeing your creative designs.
