Notices

Miss Goodwin will be leaving at the end of this term after securing a new job. After Christmas Ms Lackford will be re-joining the Year 1 team and teaching Class 1a full time for the rest of this academic year.

Letters have been sent home regarding costumes for our Christmas performance. If you have any questions or queries, please ask  a member of the Year 1 team. All of the children have been given a part to say in our Christmas performance. It would be really helpful if you could help your child to learn these lines at home. Thank you!

Now that the children are in Year 1, we ask that they come to school in their PE kits on their PE days.

General

If someone else is collecting your child from school, please could you either email or ring the school office [email protected]. We must be informed if it is another family member or another adult collecting your child. We will phone at hometime if we are uncertain.

Please ensure you have labelled your child's clothing and snacks to avoid any confusion between the children. We are a nut free school and snacks should be healthy. 

Toast money can be payed via ParentPay.

Please talk to your child about their meal choices so that they know what to order each day. We would be very grateful if you could ensure that your child is able to use a knife and fork to cut up and eat their hot meal.

Jewellery other than stud earrings must not to be worn in school for safety reasons. Toys and teddies should not be brought in to school either.

Ensure your child can fasten their own laces and zip up their own coat. If they can't fasten their own laces, please wear appropriate shoes without laces. 

Wellbeing

There is a wellbeing tab with lots of activities for the children to access. Take a look at the links and the activities in the files.

We look forward to a happy and successful year with your children!
