• School Trips - Nursery to Y5

  Tue 23 Apr 2024

  We paused trips (other than Y6 Residential) because the cost of coach travel rose significantly post-pandemic and we did not want to put financial pressure on our community at a challenging time. This school year, we are in a position to run educational school trips again as the costs are more reasonable.

   

  For more information, see the letters in Class Letters.

• Paperless Permissions

  Fri 01 Mar 2024

  We are moving towards 'paperless' slips for parents to authorise their children taking part in clubs such as sports and after-school activities. These will come through on Parent Hub, as will any communications regarding the club (e.g. cancellations). Please make sure you enable notifications on your phone for Parent Hub so that you get a ping.

   

  If you haven't yet installed Parent Hub, please do. It's easy, completely free, and is the primary way for school to keep parents up to date. More information is at this link.

• Scarlet Fever

  Thu 15 Feb 2024

  We have been told about instances of scarlet fever in our community. Scarlet fever is a contagious infection that mostly affects young children. It's easily treated with antibiotics. If you suspect that you or your child has scarlet fever, contact your GP. NHS advice is to stay away from nursery, school or work for 24 hours after you take the first dose of antibiotics.

   

  See this link on the NHS website for pictures and more information.

• Extreme Weather

  Wed 07 Feb 2024

  In the event of extreme weather causing school to close, there will be a notice on the front page of our website and a message posted via Parent Hub. This will usually be first thing in the morning, as we survey the site before making a decision. You can assume we are open unless you hear otherwise via our website or Parent Hub.

   

  We always try to stay open if we can because we know how disruptive school closures can be for families - but the safety of everyone who uses the school grounds has to be our first priority.

   

  Thank you for your understanding.

• NSPCC Stay Safe

  Tue 06 Feb 2024

  This year, we are again taking part in NSPCC's Speak Out Stay Safe. This short programme is designed to ensure children know how to protect themselves from any form of abuse, and how to speak up to keep themselves safe. There will be an assembly in school, and NSPCC are delivering workshops for Y2, Y5 and Y6 on 13/2/24.

   

  Please see this letter from the NSPCC for more information.

  Knitted Toys Raffle

  Our wonderful friend Dorothy has again worked all year to produce over 100 beautiful knitted toys for us to raffle. From Nursery to Year 6, each class will run their own raffle on Friday afternoon. Tickets are £1 per strip, and children can buy these from their class teachers.
