👟 PE Days – No Jewellery Allowed

The health, safety, and well-being of our pupils are paramount. As part of our commitment to providing a safe and effective learning environment, we remind all pupils and parents that no jewellery is allowed on PE days. 

❌ No earrings
❌ No necklaces, bangles, or other jewellery

Jewellery can pose a significant safety risk during physical activities. They can cause injuries to children through accidental scratching, catching, or impact during movement. 

Thank you for your support in keeping our school a safe, focused, and respectful environment. 

Flu vaccination - Tuesday 23rd September

 (Reception - Year 6) 

The flu vaccination team will be visiting the school on 23rd September. A consent link has been sent to parents of pupils from Reception to Year 6 via email. Please ensure you complete the form and provide your consent before this date. 

📚 Lost or Damaged Book Policy

Each child is provided with a reading book that plays an important role in supporting their learning. We kindly ask that all books are treated with care and respect, both at home and at school.

If a book is lost or returned damaged, a replacement fee of £5 will be charged. This helps the school cover the cost of replacing books so that all children can continue to enjoy and benefit from our shared reading resources.

To help keep books in good condition, please encourage your child to:

• Store books in a safe place when not in use.

• Avoid eating or drinking while reading.

• Return books on time and in good condition.

Little Wandle Reading Book - Year 1 and 2

Today, your child will bring home a Little Wandle reading book. This book will be familiar to the children and we encourage you to share the book multiple times during the week to support their reading development. 

Books and reading record books need to be returned every Thursday. It is good practice for the children to bring the books into school daily. Please sign the record book weekly and add any relevant comments you would like to share with the class teacher.

Thank you in advance for your support.

A Reminder About Toys at School

We would like to remind all parents and carers that children should not bring Labubu dolls or any other toys to school. Unfortunately, we have experienced some issues where these items have been taken from other pupils’ bags, causing distress and disruption during the school day.

To maintain a safe and focused learning environment, we kindly ask that all toys remain at home. This helps us ensure that all pupils feel respected and can concentrate fully on their learning and personal development.

Thank you for your understanding and support in reinforcing this message with your child.
