The School Day

Children should be dropped off at their class door at 8:35am and registration closes 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.

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

Suitable footwear – black shoes which are comfortable and practical for a busy day in and out of the classroom.

All uniform including outdoor clothing needs to be named.

PE Days

All pupils need to bring an appropriate PE kit for PE which is on Monday. 

All items of PE kit should be clearly named.

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

·        plain blue or black shorts/cycling shorts or leggings

·        a plain white top

·        training shoes suitable for outdoor games on the field and playground

·        a dark blue or black 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.     

·        Earrings must not be worn for PE lessons. Please provide plasters to cover earrings up where they cannot be removed for the lesson. Please ensure hair is tied back if needed.

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. 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.

Spellings are tested every Friday. The spelling lists will be marked by the children to show which spellings they need more work on. The new spelling list will be glued into the Reading Diary on the pages for the following week.

Maths – children should practise their multiplication tables every day. This website is incredibly useful for children to learn their tables by playing games and practise answering questions at speed.
