  On Friday we will be celebrating friendship day in school.

   

  Children are welcome to wear an item (or lots of items) of red or pink clothing.

   

  In exchange, our PTA are asking for a suggested donation of £1 which will go directly back to your children in school.

• New School Times for January 2023

  Tue 13 Dec 2022 School Office

  Dear parents and carers, just a quick reminder of our new timings for the start of the Spring term on Tuesday January 3rd 2023. 

   

  Nursery – 8.50am – 3.20pm (Wednesday 8.50am – 10.50am / 1.20pm – 3.20 pm)

  Reception – 8.50am – 3.10pm

  Year 1 – 8.50am – 3.15pm

  Year 2 – 8.50am – 3.15pm

  Year 3 – 8.50am – 3.20pm

  Year 4 – 8.50am – 3.20pm

  Year 5 – 8.50am – 3.20pm

  Year 6 – 8.50am – 3.20pm

   

  Any children arriving in school after 9.00am will receive a late mark. Doors will open at 8.50am and will close at 9.00am which gives you plenty of time if you need to make your way to the back playground to drop off EYFS children following children being dropped into the front of the school.

   

  Kind regards

   

  The School Office

  

• Tuesday 13th December 2022 - School is Open. Please Take Care on Untreated Surfaces.

  Mon 12 Dec 2022 School Office

  Dear Parents and Carers,

   

  The site team have been working hard today and have created a clear path into the school so that the children can enter and leave the site as safe as possible. However, I cannot guarantee what the weather will do overnight and how low the temperature will drop. This will have an impact on site safety tomorrow.

   

  The school will be open tomorrow (Tuesday) as normal.  However, the playground remains out of bounds at all times as does the EYFS outside play area. The front gate remains the only way in and out of the school. 

   

  If you choose to keep your child at home tomorrow, this will be an authorised absence.  Please advise the school office via email or the absence line if you wish to do this.

   

  All afterschool clubs will be cancelled tomorrow.

   

  Stay safe

  Miss Bolton
