Saltney Ferry is a growing County Primary School based in Saltney Ferry on the outskirts of Chester. The name derives from the ferry that used to operate across the River Dee transporting pedestrians and cyclists -a footbridge has now replaced the ferry. The school caters to children from the ages of 3 – 11 years and we also have ‘Saltney Small Steps Playgroup’ onsite for children aged from 2 years to 4 months.
At Saltney Ferry, we strive to provide education, set good foundations for future development, and help children to realize that learning is fun and lifelong. We have high expectations for our pupils in their work and behavior, supported by a dedicated team of staff who work extremely hard to ensure that all our children reach their full potential.
On this website, we aim to provide you with useful and up-to-date information so viewing our site regularly will allow you to keep in touch with everyday life at our busy school. At Saltney Ferry CP School we recognize that good attendance and punctuality are essential if pupils are to take full advantage of school and become independent learners. It is vital to the continuity and effectiveness of learning. Children should enjoy school and develop good habits of attendance and punctuality which will influence them as they grow older.
We believe that attendance is a partnership between parents and the school, and is the responsibility of everyone to help children develop good habits for life, monitor and support attendances, and to be alert to any problems that may lead to absence. School attendance is subject to education law and guidance and this school attendance policy is written to reflect this legislation and the guidance produced by the Welsh government.
It is a parent’s responsibility to ensure that their child arrives at school on time and in a condition to learn. Parents are expected to inform the school office, by telephone or letter, by 9.15 am on the first morning of absence, if their child is unable to attend school.
