It is really important for all children to drink water throughout the day, which is why children need to bring a water bottle into school. However, can we please ask that children only bring in either a disposable plastic or re-usable plastic water bottle.
Some children are bringing in large metal water bottles which when knocked over can cause disruption in the class.
Please can we also ask that Airup water bottles are not brought into school, these are expensive and can sometimes be knocked over in a busy classroom and damaged or broken.

We are a nut free school!
We are a nut free school!
As you may already be aware, we have several pupils that attend our school who have severe and in some cases life threatening nut allergies. Strict avoidance of peanut/nut products is the only way to prevent a life threatening allergic reaction. The anaphylaxis (allergic reactions) can occur as a result of allergens being airborne, through digestion, inhalation or any other contact with nut-based products.
For their safety, all nut-based products are banned from the school premises.
Please do not send your child into school with any nut-based product for a snack or packed lunch. Potential allergens could include the following:
Spreads, e.g., chocolate spread
Cereal bars
Some types of biscuit containing nuts
Condiments, e.g., satay sauce
Cakes containing nuts
Some snack pots containing nuts
We ask that you please check the labelling of food products before sending your child in to school with them – it is not always apparent that products contain nuts.
School uniform
School uniform
Please ensure your child is wearing the correct school uniform, please read through the guidance below to see what our uniform expectations are and also see where this can be bought from.

Grey sweat cardigan (preferably with the school logo or otherwise plain)
Sky blue polo shirt (preferably with the school logo or otherwise plain)

Where hijabs are worn they must be in the school colours of either blue, white or grey.
Pupils should at all times have suitable coats for outdoor wear, to cater for changeable weather.
Footwear must be plain black shoes or trainers.
Children wear their PE kit for the whole school day on the day of their PE lesson (you will be notified which day/s these are). This enables pupils not only to receive maximum learning time for their PE lessons, but also a reduces PE clothing being lost/misplaced.
PE kit expectations are:
Plain T-shirt in their ‘house colour’
Grey school jumper (plain- no branded clothing)
Grey shorts, grey tracksuit joggers or grey leggings (plain-no branded clothing).
Plain black trainers.
The children will be expected to wear their grey school jumper or grey sweatshirt with grey shorts, joggers or leggings and will therefore remain in school colours on their PE day.
It is also essential that trainers worn on PE days are plain black as this will ensure consistency across the school with our uniform expectations.
All uniform mentioned above can be found at Boffins and Caseys, Links to their websites can be found below:
