Email communication

If you are emailing in with a message about your child, please include their name and class (ideally in the subject line). Collectively, this will save our office staff a huge amount of time.

Labelled belongings

It would be appreciated if all children's belongings were labelled clearly with their name, especially jumpers, coats and water bottles. We have a lot of unnamed items in our lost property cupboard already.

Early Years

Nursery

This week in Nursery we have been enjoying our story Don’t Wake Up, Tiger! 🐯 The children have loved celebrating Tiger’s birthday by making playdough cupcakes and tasty treats, drawing pictures of tigers, and creating tiger-pattern collages. We also explored different art techniques with balloon painting. We learned about floating and sinking by experimenting with objects in the water tray, and practised blowing bubbles, watching how they float gently through the air. A busy and fun-filled week of creativity and curiosity! 

Reception

Reception have been learning the story of Astro Girl this week! They enjoyed drawing the main character Astrid and re-telling the story during our Tales Toolkit lessons. In addition to Astrid, Reception have also learnt about some famous astronauts and events such as Neil Armstrong and The Race for Space. In Maths, the children have been learning different ways to make 5. They enjoyed singing 5 Little Speckled Frogs and counting the number of frogs on the log and in the pool then combining them to make 5.

Communication

To help us assist you more efficiently when you email the school office, we kindly request that you include your child's class along with their name in your correspondence.

While we know all our students very well, having the class information readily available helps us to quickly identify your child and address your queries without any delay or guesswork.

For example, please consider writing: "Regarding [Child's Full Name], [Class, e.g., Year R - Squirrels]" in the subject line or at the beginning of your email.

Your cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated and will help us continue to provide the best possible support to you and your children.

Thank you for your understanding.

Please do not donate, shirts, or grey uniform items; we have very limited storage space and we can’t store those items currently.  We will let you know when we are able to accept these items again. 

Thank you so much for supporting the second hand uniform sale on Friday.  We are delighted that good quality school uniform can be reused and help families. 

Going forward, we need to reduce the uniform service that we offer unfortunately. We will no longer be taking uniform email requests for the foreseeable future.  The uniform service has expanded immensely with donations and requests over the past year.  Whilst it has been absolutely wonderful to offer this service to the school community; sadly, we don't have the volunteers to sustain the huge amount of time this service requires.  

However, we are very happy to still offer a termly uniform sale, where we'll have plenty of uniform on offer to stock up for the term ahead.

Please leave donations at either the Infants’ or Junior’s office.

We hope you understand the decision we've had to take, and we thank you, as always, for your continued support.
