Reception children need to keep their PE kit in school.

Reminder: Year 5 will begin their swimming lessons tomorrow. They will need to bring their swimming costume and towel into school every Tuesday. If your child forgets their swimming kit phone calls will be made.

Milk Money

Our supplier is Cool Milk.  If you wish to register your child for milk, please go to their website: www.coolmilk.com.

Valuable Items

If your child brings their phone, house keys, bus pass, and wears a smartwatch, 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.
