As the second week of the new school year ends, we’d like to thank our families for their continued support and our children for their hard work, positive attitude and kindness.

This week we had our first singing assemblies for Key Stages 1 and 2 and it was wonderful to get together in the hall after eighteen months.

Please remember:

• To label your children’s belongings including: uniform, lunch boxes and PE kit.
• Pay dinner money in a named, sealed envelope. This can be handed to your class teacher or dropped off at the main school office.
• Children should now come to school in their uniform as normal on their P.E. days and will change in school.  
• P.E. days are as follows:
  • Monday – Y2 and Y4
  • Tuesday – Y3 and Y6
  • Wednesday – Y1 and Reception
  • Thursday – Y5 and Nursery

COVID19 

Following current guidance, we do not have year group ‘bubbles’ and children and staff will be able to mix with each other throughout the school day. Bubbles may have to be reintroduced when necessary. 

Classes are set up differently to last year and children will go to Key stage assemblies. We will continue to have whole school assemblies virtually for the time being.

We will have staggered break and lunchtimes. This is to ensure that lunchtimes runs smoothly and children have more space on the playground.

Self Isolation

The rules for self-isolation changed for England on 16th August. If you are unsure if your child should be isolating, contact school and we can help you.

Attendance 

School attendance will be mandatory again from the beginning of the autumn term. Parents must make sure their children attend school when they are well enough to do so. Please make sure your children are here and collected on time.
