P.E. Lessons

On the days that the children have PE, we would like them to come to school in their PE kit so that they are ready for their PE lesson. 
Please ensure your child comes to school wearing the correct PE kit on the days they have PE lessons. This is part of our school uniform rules as follows:

• Children from Reception upwards must wear a PE kit of maroon T-shirts, shorts / or skorts,
  and trainers, with their school jumper/cardigan to school on the days they have PE.
• Leggings (not tights) may be worn underneath shorts if needed.
• Grey jogging bottoms may be worn.

* Children should also wear their school jumper/cardigan in colder weather.

The School Day

Morning Drop Off Time: 8:45am - 8:55am

If your child is late, they will need to come into school via the School Office Main Entrance.

Please make sure your child is picked up on time at the end of the day.

Parents Seeing Teachers

The teachers are always pleased to speak to parents/carers of the children they teach, but it is not possible for them to talk to you when they are responsible for a class.

Please make an appointment to speak to your child's teacher on the phone by calling the School Office. or speak to the teacher when dropping off or collecting your child. 

The Head, and Deputy Head teachers are very happy to see parents/carers too. Please contact the School Office to make an appointment to speak to them.
