Our school is extremely proud of its successful links we have with our Spanish school called Colegio Santiago Apostol. The school is in the north of Spain near the border of Portugal called Ponteareas.

Attendance and Punctuality
The morning bell is rung at 8.55a.m. for the start of the school day.
When the Year 3,4,5 and 6 children arrive, from 8.45am onwards they are expected to be on the Infant School playground, which is supervised by a member of staff.
Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 children are expected to be supervised by an adult on the Junior Playground until the bell is rung. The children will line up by class and be met by the teacher who will bring them into school.
A notice will be displayed at the front of school if the weather is adverse and children are then permitted to directly go into their own classrooms from 8.45am onwards.
If a child arrives at school after 9.00am they should sign the Late Book outside the Secretary’s Office, after entering the school via the front door.
If your child will be absent from school, please ensure you ring the School
Office to inform us before 9.15am. Messages may be left on the answer machine.
In cases of sickness and diarrhoea children must remain at home for 48 hours after the last time they displayed any symptoms.
The school will not authorise any holidays taken during school time. Notification of planned absences must be recorded on the School Form and submitted to the Headteacher. Absences will only be authorised in exceptional circumstances.
Penalty notices will be issued by Trafford's Educational Welfare Team for 8 missed sessions (4 days) unauthorised by the Headteacher.Home/School Learning
Home / School Learning
At Our Lady of the Rosary we believe homework makes a valuable contribution to a child’s learning. Each year group has homework appropriate to their age and related to their learning experiences in school.
Parents will be informed, at the beginning of each school year, the homework tasks that will be set for each Year Group and of the amount of time it is expected that children should spend on these tasks per week.
Reading, spelling, learning times tables and other tasks to reinforce basic number skills are regular activities. Research and project work may also be set.
We expect parents to support our Homework Policy and to ensure that pupils complete homework tasks to be best of their ability and return work to school on time.
