Snacks
We would lie to remind parents that the only snacks permitted are fruit and vegetables. During lesson times, children may access fresh water at all times. We also currently permit sugar-free squash.
School Uniform
The children all look very smart in their uniforms. Your child’s class teacher will inform you of the day of their PE lessons. On PE days, you child may come to school dressed in PE uniform – white or red tee-shirt/poloshirt, and grey or black jogging bottoms or shorts.. There is a School Essentials Grants that provides £125 a year to buy uniform etc. This grant is applied in the similar way as free school meals were applied for. We will send further information via SeeSaw.
Clubs
We are hopeful Breakfast Club will recommence in the near future. A list of after-school clubs will be sent out shortly.
Here ‘s to a happy and successful new school year.
