Attendance

Last week we were unfortunately down to 91% which was surprisingly low and not what we are used to here at Friars. This week we bounced back to above 93% but this is still lower than where we need to be... Come on Friars... we can do it.

Could 1MV make it 5 weeks in a row in winning the KS1 attendance cup…? Unfortunately, they couldn't. Four weeks was quite an achievement and whilst they weren't first... they were second!

This week's winner in KS1 was 2S with 96.5%. In KS2 it was a win for 6L. Well done to both classes.

Team Points

Caernarfon went into this week with a 14 point lead and they have extended this by a further 13 points! Caernarfon now lead by 27 points from Stirling who are in second place. Stirling are another 3 points adrift, with Stormont bringing up the rear.

Well done to all of our teams for working so hard over the past week. Only two weeks to go before half term... will Caernarfon lead then?!
