📢 IMPORTANT REMINDERS
- Punctuality-The school doors open at 8.40am and school starts at 8.45am with the register and learning begins straight after that. Please ensure your child is brought to the school / classroom door so they are in on time to start the day in a positive manner. Children who are late miss the communal start to the day and often feel embarrassed joining the class after lessons have started.
- Regular school attendance is vital because it directly drives academic achievement, supports mental health and social development, establishes positive lifelong routines, and safeguards our children by keeping them engaged in safe, structured environments. Please ensure your child is in every day. More information about attendance will be coming out to you soon.
- Our school uniform is grey or back trousers, skirt or shorts, a white shirt and a red jumper or cardigan. Children must wear black shoes NOT trainers. PE kits are black shorts and red t-shirts and pumps/ trainers. Black jogging pants are also suitable for PE lessons in cold weather.
Earrings must only be small studs and are to be taken out on PE days or your child will not be allowed to join in the PE lesson. Necklaces and bracelets are not to be worn for Health and Safety purposes.
- Breakfast club- You must book and pay for a place for your child in advance of your child attending breakfast club from 7/9/26, via the school payment system. We need to know in advance for numbers of children to ensure we have enough staff for safeguarding purposes. Please do not bring your children in on the day, expecting a place, if you have not booked. Please pay on School Comms.
- School dinners- You must inform the office if your child is having a school dinner and pay for it in advance. We cannot give lunches to children whose parents have not paid for them. If you are eligible for Free School Meals, please ensure you have applied for them. An email was sent out last week with information about this. School dinners are to be paid on the Arbour app- this is £13.75 a week.

🧠 WELLBEING & SAFEGUARDING
As we begin a new school year, safeguarding remains a shared responsibility and a key priority for our school community. We are committed to ensuring that every child feels safe, valued and supported, both in school and beyond. Please remember that our safeguarding team is always available should you have any concerns about a child’s wellbeing or safety. If something doesn’t feel right, however small, please speak to a member of staff—we are here to listen, support and help. We look forward to working together with families throughout the year to keep our children safe and thriving.
The Designated Safeguarding Leads are Mrs Pearson, Mrs Lovell and Mrs Webster.
