New Starters 2020 Information
Starting school is a milestone, not only for your child but also for you. You may be excited or perhaps a little concerned about your child taking these first steps towards independence.

Alternatively, there will be an opportunity to collect any pre-paid orders at the school gates on Wednesday 26th August, 6.15 - 7.15pm.

Message about PE Due to Covid-19, we will be unable to have indoor PE for the foreseeable future. Therefore, the children will need to have outdoor kit from Monday 28th September. They will need – blue Parley T-shirt, navy joggers, navy hoodie/zip up top and trainers. They will have outdoor PE (weather permitting) twice a week and I will let you know the days once this has been organised with the rest of the school. The children will be expected to wear their kit to school on the appropriate days of the week, as we will be unable to change them at this stage. |
