The School Day

Children should be dropped off at the outside entrance at 8:35am and registration closes at 8:45am.

The gates will be locked promptly at 8:45am - pupils arriving after this time will be required to go through the office and will be recorded as late.

Pick up time at the end of the day is 3:10pm. Children left behind after 3:20pm will be taken to the office to await arrival of an adult. Phone calls to parents or carers with be made at this point.

Each day the children need a coat, water bottle and packed lunch if they are not having a school dinner.

All uniform including outdoor clothing needs to be named.

PE Days

All pupils need to bring an appropriate PE kit on their allocated PE days. 

Children will need the following items of clothing in their PE kits:

·        plain black shorts/cycling shorts or leggings

·        a white short or long-sleeved T-shirt

·        trainers that are suitable for outdoor games on the field and playground

·        a track suit is recommended for outdoor winter games

Please note! No football shirts/strips should be worn, and clothing should not have large brand names on them.

PE is on Tuesday and Friday. Please arrive at school in PE kit on Friday as our session starts at 8.45am.

Reading and Learning at Home

Reading – children must aim to read for 10 minutes each day: the more a child reads at home, the more progress they will make. In KS1, children will be bringing home a library book to share, a book to read at their phonics level, and their RWI book. We ask that an adult at home supports reading for 10 minutes each night and signs their child's reading diary to show that this has happened.

Spelling will be sent out on a Monday and with Spelling Test taking place on a Friday
