Headteacher's Welcome
Welcome to Menston Primary School. This is a warm, friendly and successful school full of brilliant people (most of them under 12 years old!). Our children are fabulous. They care about their friends, their school and their world, and they work hard to learn and to teach each other interesting, useful things. They particularly like our commitment to providing regular opportunities for Learning Outside the Classroom in all year groups - be that running the Daily Mile, pond dipping, minibeast hunting and den building or just being outdoors and learning about the natural world. Whilst doing all this they achieve very high standards. The children have taught us that the school should be ‘Making our World a Better Place.’ So that is what we work together to do - every day.

Please contact the School Office on 01943 873180 if you would like to learn more about our school and to arrange a visit.
Announcements
We aim for all children to achieve at least 97% attendance. This means that children should only be absent from school when they are too ill to attend.
Absence due to illness should be reported by leaving a message on the 24HR child absence line before 08:30am by calling the school office on 01943 873180. If your child has sickness or diarrhoea, they must be kept off school for 48 hours after the last bout of illness.
Medical and dental appointments should be made, where possible, outside of school time. If your child will be attending an appointment within school time, please notify the office in advance by emailing office@menston.mlt.co.uk, along with proof of the appointment, e.g. a screenshot of a confirmation text or email.
Please do not book family holidays during term time. Our term dates are available under the ‘Parents’ tab. Any request for leave of absence during term time should be submitted using the Leave of Absence form, which can be downloaded from the ‘Useful Forms’ page via the ‘Parents’ tab. Paper copies are available from the school office.
Our school gates close promptly at 08:45 am, so please ensure children arrive at school before this time. Any children arriving after this time should report to the school office on St Peter’s Way to sign in.
