Music Showcase We would like to thank all the parents who attended the Music Showcase on Monday.

Science Club

Due to the Christmas Dance and Dine on Thursday 4th December, the Science Club will be held on Monday 1st December.  We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. 

Non-Uniform Day

On Friday 5th December, the child can come to school in non-uniform for a chocolate donation.  Can you please ensure the chocolate bars are in date and also that they do not contain nuts!

Nursery Parents

Nursery parents, it has come to that time of year for applications for Reception Class September 2026.  Please read the information pack you will have received. Any problems, please speak to Mrs. Spafford.

Adverse Weather

The school will endeavour to remain open in adverse weather conditions.  However, if we need to close the school, you will be notified as early as possible via the Bradford Schools Online website, the school’s website, by email and the Arbor App.  Please ensure we have current email addresses and mobile numbers.

Warm Clothing

Please ensure that you send your child/children to school with coats, hats, scarves, gloves etc. If your child comes to school in wellies, please ensure they bring a change of shoes to school.  Make sure all items have your child’s name on them.

Labelling Uniform

We have had a number of children who have lost items of their uniform, coats etc. but do not have their names in the items.  It is extremely difficult for staff to find uniforms if the items are not labelled with your child’s name.

Milk Money

Valuable Items

If your child brings their phone, house keys, bus pass, and wears a smart watch, they need to hand them into the office where the items will be locked away.

Your child will then need to collect them at the end of the day.

Reporting your child absent

This year we will once again be having a big push on attendance and punctuality. The children are expected in school every day. Children are not allowed to take leave from school. If you do take your child out of school, then you may be prosecuted and fined £80 per child per parent. In some cases, you could be fined £2,500 per child per parent and receive a criminal record.

Mrs. Spafford and Mrs. Khambhaita will be monitoring all children and if they have any concerns regarding a child’s attendance or punctuality, the parents will be invited to a meeting.

If your child is going to be absent from school, please do not ring the school number but ring or send a text to 07938742883.

If we have not received a reason for your child’s absence, we will be contacting you from this number.  If we do not receive any reason, then a home visit will be made.
