Dear Parents/Carers, It was lovely to see so many of you at our Parent Forum Meetings this week. We are looking forward to working with you to ensure another successful year for your children. The classes are all settling, and the children are learning well. The children have re-joined old friends whilst also making some new ones. Many of the children have also told me all about their summer adventures, which has been lovely to hear about. Please find below some additional information for this term you may find helpful. As always, if you have any questions, concerns or ideas that may help us, please come and talk to us. With kind regards, Ms Gita |

School UniformAs we begin the new school year, it has been wonderful to see so many of our pupils looking so smart in their uniforms. Thank you for your support in helping us maintain these high standards. We would like to remind parents that children are required to wear a maroon (not red) jumper or cardigan, we have a handful of children that are wearing grey or other colours. Please also remember that school shoes need to be black and not all the assorted colours we are seeing at present. Thank you for your support Also can we ask you to label all items of clothing with your child's name as we have already started accumulating lost property. You can use a permanent marker, iron on labels or name tags. This will help staff to return clothing to the children. |
