Welfare
We recognise the importance of a quick and easy communication regarding your child’s health and medical needs. Therefore, we have created an email address you can use which can be picked up by our team.
Please use the welfare email regarding any medical health issues you would like to share about your child, or call the school 01992 760 678
At Chesterfield Primary School, we take attendance and punctuality very seriously as we want to give all our children the best possible start in life. There is a direct link between the amount of time children spend in school and the progress they make.
In our weekly assemblies we celebrate classes that reach 96% and above for the previous weeks' attendance, achieving classes receive a certificate. When a class gets ten certificates-there is a reward!
Well done to the following classes:
7th --11th November
Scotland 96%
Ghana 99%
Everest 100%
Spain 99%
Turkey 98%
China 98%
India 97%

We would like children to adopt good habits of attending and punctually. It is disruptive to your child and to the rest of the class when children arrive late. Children arriving late may miss important information and teaching. School gates open 8.50 and close at 9:05
Children are marked late if they arrive after 9.10
Parents join their children in a maths lesson
Thank you to all the parents who attended the maths lessons with their child's class, we hope you picked up some points on how to support your child at home.
