Voluntary contributions

Healthy school

Your child can bring in a healthy snack each day (fruit or vegetable only please) however fruit and vegetable snacks are provided in the nursery.

Please make sure they bring a named water bottle in everyday.

For birthdays, instead of buying sweets or plastic gifts, we suggest purchasing a book for the class library if your child would like to give a gift to their class.

Lunch

PLEASE NOTE WE ARE A NUT FREE SCHOOL

While in Nursery, your child will need to bring in a healthy packed lunch every day for every full day they attend. No lunch on a Wednesday for part-week attendees.

Voluntary contributions

As a school we ask for a termly voluntary contribution towards any workshops, visitors and educational visits organised. The amount will vary, depending on the events organised which will be listed in the termly contributions letter.

Parent helpers

We welcome parents (or grandparents) to help in school as it can make such a difference to the children’s learning. Parents help in so many ways, for example; taking children to the library, accompanying us on school visits, cooking, sewing, arts and crafts, gardening, painting sheds, hearing readers, sharing their expertise or assisting with administrative jobs. All help is gratefully received and parents always talk about how valuable they find these experiences, and the children love it too. You need to be DBS checked before you can help.

Details of this can be found on the school website under the Online Disclosures and Barring page. It takes a little while to come through so please apply early –once your child has started at school.
