Cycle to School Reminder: children can come to school on their bicycles but they must dismount before coming into the playground. Bicycles can then be walked across the yard and parked in the bike shelters. Scooters are not allowed.
PE Kit Please ensure that your child has their kit in school everyday. This should include black shorts, a white teeshirt and a change of footwear. In the coming months you may wish to add a pair of tracksuit bottoms and a sweatshirt for outdoor PE.
Please remember to label all children’s uniform/PE kits/Coats with your child’s full name and class. We will then be able to return them to your child if found on the playground or in lost property. Thank you. Parking Please may we request all parents/carers be considerate when parking outside school: Do not block residents driveways Make sure that you are being extra vigilant to ensure the safety of all pupils and parents walking to school and crossing roads. Do not park at the bottom of the school driveway. This may be needed for emergency vehicles and is regularly used by coaches when the children go on educational visits and parked cars make it difficult to access the school grounds. Do not sit in your car leaving engines running. Thank you.
