It made coming to school all worthwhile!
With the chequered flag being waved on the each year’s Attendance Grand Prix races, children from the winning classes enjoyed an ice cream chilling in the sun.
TJWA - enjoy the summer!

We at #TJWA stand shoulder to shoulder with the FA in condemning the racial abuse directed at our England heroes. Stay strong @BukayoSaka87 @MarcusRashford @Sanchooo10 we are proud of what you achieved. You brought the spirit of football home. Hate will not win.

Attendance really does matter!
“A good education is a foundation for a better future” Elizabeth Warren
190 school days vs 175 non school days per year…non attendance of 10 or more days per year really does affect education. https://t.co/Euhn6aVtvl

Being early is on time, being on time is late and being late is unacceptable
Lateness adds up - being 15 minutes late each day leads to over two weeks of education lost.
