What does my child need to bring to school with them?
Please look at the uniform page for details of school uniform, PE kits and outdoor learning gear. We are an all weather school, so it is really important that your child has a waterproof coat and welly boots. Each child has their own locker to store their possessions in. We ask that your child does not bring a pencil case or personal belongings to school. We will provide them with all the equipment they will need.
At the infant school my children received a free snack, will this continue?
Free snacks are not offered at Key Stage 2. We do how every encourage children to bring in a healthy, nut-free snack (under 100 calories) to eat during break time. Crisps and chocoltae are to be saved for lunchtime.
How do school dinners work? How do I pay for them?
