What a wonderful afternoon celebrating the special people in our children’s lives! 💙
Our Year 1/2 children were delighted to perform for the family members, carers, and loved ones who support, encourage, and care for them every day. Their singing, smiles, and enthusiasm made for a truly memorable event, and we couldn’t be prouder of the confidence and effort they showed.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the afternoon so special. It was lovely to see our school community come together to celebrate the important people who make a difference in our children’s lives.
Well done, Year 1/2 – you were amazing! 🎶✨

The Primary School Impact
In primary school, attendance builds the foundational blocks for reading, writing, and maths. Gaps here create a snowball effect.
The 10-Day Tipping Point: DfE data shows that missing just 10 days of school in Year 6 reduces a child’s chance of reaching the expected standard in SATs by 25%.
The 95% Threshold: Children with an attendance rate of 95% or higher are 1.3 times more likely to achieve the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths than those with 90% to 95% attendance.
The Persistent Absence Reality: Only 40.2% of primary pupils who are persistently absent (below 90% attendance) meet the expected standard, compared to 83.9% of pupils with perfect attendance.
“90% attendance,” it sounds like an ‘A’ grade, but in reality, it means a child is missing four whole weeks of school a year.
Our attendance is 93% for the year compared to other local school’s attendance being 97%. We genuinely can’t figure out why our children get ill so much more. This is and will have a huge impact on our (your children).
We have over 38 children who have missed 10% or more school days this year, over the course of a school career this is more than a year’s education lost.
Primary schools are fun lovely places to be and we want your help to give us any ideas that may make a difference. ... See MoreSee Less

🏃♂️🏃♀️ What a fantastic day for our Year 3 and 4 pupils at the Quad Kids event held at Monkton Stadium! 🌟
Competing against 36 teams from across the region, our children represented West Boldon Primary School brilliantly. They showed determination, resilience and excellent sportsmanship throughout every event, giving their very best from start to finish. 💪👏
We were incredibly proud of their attitude, encouragement of one another and the way they conducted themselves all day. They truly embodied our school values and were outstanding ambassadors for our school. ⭐
A huge well done to everyone who took part – you should be very proud of yourselves! 🎉🏅 ... See MoreSee Less
