Please take note of some important information below:

Attendance matters and every day counts!  Missing school means missing learning and learning builds from one day to another.

Reading remains a key priority. Please remind your child to bring their homework diary and reading book to school every day. 

The more that you read,

the more things you will know.

The more that you lean,

the more places you will go.

The power of reading holds the key to success - it not only underpins everyhing we learn about but it also stimulates curiosity, intrigue, an active imagination and helps us to think critically and analytically, so lets work together to make your child be the best reader they can be! You can help by listening to your child read and by reading to your child (bedtime sories are a wonderful way). Don't forget to sign your child's reading diary too - extra creadits are given!

Reward System

Merits are given to your children for their efforts, attitudes and behaviour. All merits earned go towards your child gaining their Bronze, Silver, Gold and Honours certificates, and finally the prestigious Badge, (this is a special achievement, which is presented at the end of the year in our end of year assembly if enough merits are gained). 

Early Help

Early help and early prevention are forms of support aimed at improving outcomes for children or preventing escalating need or risk.  If, for whatever reason, you and your child are struggling and feel you need help, please do ask.  School staff may be able to advise, offer support ot signpost you to the people and agencies who can.  

Important information

Remember - No jewellery is allowed in school except for stud earrings and watches.

Long hair MUST be tied up.

Please make sure your child has their own water bottle in school which is clearly labelled with their name.

Ensure all clothing is labelled.

Remember to bring a coat and wear suitable shoes to school every day, we will play outside whatever the weather.
