PE

PE will be on a Tuesday and a Friday so please ensure your child comes to school in their PE kit appropriate for the weather and that everything is clearly labelled. All jewellery must be removed. 

Water Bottles

Please ensure your child has named water bottle in school at all times.

Any questions or concerns, please come and have a chat after school or call the office and leave a message. We are really happy to help and one of us will get back to you as soon as possible.

We really look forward to supporting your children through this very important year!
