General Information

Our PE session is on a TUESDAY morning. Please ensure your child has a full PE kit in school (white t-shirt, black or blue PE shorts and black pumps) and all items are labelled with their name. PE kits are kept in school and will be sent home each holiday for a wash!

Homework is set each term and can be accessed on the schools website, under the page 'Curriculum' then 'Year Group Homework'. Please try to complete at least one piece/ task of homework per week.

Your child's reading pack will come home on a Friday. Please return the pack on Monday.
