Message from Head of School

Dear Parents and Carers,

As we reach the end of Autumn Term 1, I’d like to extend a heartfelt thank you for your continued support throughout this busy and rewarding half-term.

A special thank you to all parents and carers who attended our workshops – your involvement made them a huge success, and we truly appreciate your engagement in supporting your child’s learning journey.

Our pupils have settled in brilliantly and have shown great enthusiasm across all areas of the curriculum. From exciting classroom projects to enriching educational visits, it’s been a pleasure to see their confidence and curiosity grow.

We’re proud of all that’s been achieved so far and look forward to welcoming you back in November for another exciting and jam-packed half-term.

Wishing you all a safe, restful, and enjoyable holiday.

School Attendance and punctuality Focus

As we move into the next half-term, we are placing a strong focus on attendance and punctuality. Every school day counts, and arriving on time ensures that children make the most of their learning opportunities right from the start of the day.

We kindly ask for your continued support in:

  • Ensuring your child attends school every day unless they are genuinely unwell.
  • Making sure they arrive on time, ready to learn.
  • Booking appointments outside of school hours wherever possible.

         

Good attendance and punctuality are key to academic success and help children build positive routines and relationships. Let’s work together to give every child the best chance to thrive.

Thank you for your support.

School Uniform

 

PE Kit

We kindly remind you of the importance of ensuring your child comes to school wearing the correct uniform and bringing the appropriate PE kit on designated days.

Wearing the correct uniform helps promote a sense of belonging and pride in our school community. It also supports a focused learning environment. Please ensure that your child’s uniform is complete and adheres to our school’s uniform policy.

Additionally, on PE days, children must bring their full PE kit, including appropriate footwear. This ensures they can participate safely and comfortably in all physical activities.

If you have any questions or need support with uniform or PE kit requirements, please don’t hesitate to contact the school office.

Thank you for your continued support.
